Aston VIlla will take on Brighton in a Premier League match at Villa Park on Saturday. Both teams have gotten off to a good start this season and will be looking to maximise it by going for a win this weekend. Brighton are third in the league standings with 15 points whereas Villa are sixth with 12.
The visitors' league form has been impressive but they have suffered defeats elsewhere. They lost their Europa League group stage opener against AEK Athens and also suffered a defeat at the hands of Chelsea in their most recent outing, in the Carabao Cup.
Villa's recent form is also similar - they lost their most recent outing in the Carabao Cup against Everton and will be looking to bounce back from that defeat. They will fancy their chances at home, although Brighton are flying at the moment.
