Brighton vs Aston Villa Current League Standings

Just two points seperate the two sides, Villa are fourth on 21 points and Brighton are sixth on 19. With how incredibly tight the table is at the moment both teams will be desperate for three points as a win for either side means dropped points for the other and that increases the gap to another team who's fighting for european football
