Aston Villa, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Chelsea in their last league game, Aston Villa will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Chelsea who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 12 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Unai Emery will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 10 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 16 games in a row.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 9 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 9 games.
On an individual basis, Douglas Luiz has scored in each of Aston Villa's last 4 league games at Villa Park.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormBrighton & Hove Albion head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-1 home win against Bournemouth in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with a 62% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Bournemouth, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Their boss Roberto De Zerbi has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 18 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 8 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring now stands at 22 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches.
Evan Ferguson will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Brighton & Hove Albion.
It was not a positive ending for Brighton & Hove Albion last time they met Aston Villa in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
When playing at home against The Seagulls, Aston Villa have scored at least one goal for 5 games in succession. Brighton have struggled to break down The Villans defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Aston Villa will be looking to continue their winning streak against Brighton, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
