Brighton team news

While Ferdi Kadioglu, Igor Julio, James Milner, Jason Steele, Joel Veltman, Matt O'Riley, Solly March, Tariq Lamptey, Mats Wieffer and Adam Webster comprise of the 10 injury absentees, Georginio Rutter is a doubt due to a knock.

Yankuba Minteh, Joao Pedro, Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck should make up the final third, with Jan Paul van Hecke and Lewis Dunk paired at center-back.

Aston Villa team news

Emery will have a nearly full-strength squad at his disposal as only Ross Barkley is set to miss out due to a calf injury.

Given Ollie Walkins' return at the tip of attack, Marcus Rashford will be deployed on the left wing, while Amadou Onana is likely to come into the XI in place of either Youri Tielemans or Boubacar Kamara in midfield.
