Aston Villa host Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday live on TV and online.
Aston Villa will look to move into the top four this weekend when they face Brighton at Villa Park in Saturday’s afternoon kick off.
Villa ended a two-game losing blip with their 3-0 victory at Arsenal before the international break and will be in high spirits for the visit of Brighton.
Jack Grealish and co. have one of the best goalscoring records in the top flight this season, with an average 2.5 goals per game from their seven Premier League fixtures.
Brighton, meanwhile, are looking to end a run of six Premier League outings without a win in order to edge further away from the relegation zone.
The Seagulls have drawn three of their last four games and would likely take a point from Villa Park if offered on Saturday.

Aston Villa v Brighton team news
Aston Villa: Bertrand Traore will hope to be fit for this clash following a thigh problem. Kortney Hause, meanwhile, is rated 50/50.
Goalkeeper Tom Heaton could make the bench, while Ollie Watkins is expected to start up top once again, with Grealish, Ross Barkley and Trezeguet behind him.
Brighton: Boss Graham Potter is sweating on the fitness of four first-team players, with Solomon March, Aaron Connolly, Leandro Trossard and Christian Walton all pushing to return to the squad.
Lewis Dunk is back from a suspension and should slip straight back into the heart of defence. Jose Izquierdo may also miss out again.
Our prediction: Aston Villa v Brighton
Villa’s goalscoring form this season has certainly caught the eye but crucially they have the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League to date.
And this puts them in good stead against a Brighton side that are labouring for goals of late. The Seagulls have made a habit of eking out draws recently but may struggle against this lung-busting Villa attack.
Indeed, even with Dunk back in the defence this could be a long day for Potter’s men. A home win – albeit not a walkover – appears inevitable.
Our prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Brighton
