Brighton
Brighton travel north as they take on Aston Villa at Villa Park. A home that has been a fortress for the hosts all season, having lost just three times there all season.
Aston Villa who are having a dream season as they sit comfortable in third place. They will be looking to make things right at home though as their last two league games at Villa Park has seen them come up short on both occasions, a 1-0 loss to Everton and Brentford, they will be looking at Brightons poor form over the last 11 games and be looking to take all three points
Brighton have been in all sorts of trouble ever since their 2-0 win away at Nottingham Forest all the way back on the 30th of November, having just won once in their last 11 league games a win is much needed to help get their season back on track, however going to Villa Park to try and turn your season around certainly isn't an easy task
Key Betting Tip: both teams to score @ 1.65 (BoyleSports) represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.
Aston Villa predicted XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Bogarde, Luiz, Sancho, Rogers, Buendia, Abraham
Brighton predicted XI: Verbruggen, De Cuyper, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu, Baleba, Ayari, Gross, Mitoma, Kostoulas, Minteh
Aston Villa are all the way up in third as they've had their best start to a season since returning to the Premier League in 2019. They have 47 points which is tied with Manchester City who just edge them for second on goal difference and will be looking to reach 50 points come Wednesday
Brighton however, like mentioned previously have been struggling immensley to get any sort of momentum going. Conceding late goal after late goal and bottling games has caused them to slide all the way down to 13th on 31 points and just eight point above West Ham in 18th
The last time the two sides met was back in December where fans were treated to a seven goal thriller as Villa edged Brighton in a 4-3 win despite Brighton taking a 2-0 lead

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): Even if he doesn't start as a Brighton fan I am sick of this guy scoring against us, last time out he scored a brace and don't be suprised if he does something similar again
Charalampos Kostoulas (Brighton): A player who doesn't get near enough game time as he deserves, whenever he comes off the bench he always gives you 100% and gives the team so much energy, with the possibility of rotation he may get a well deserved start
