Brighton visits Villa Park on Wednesday, looking to break a five-match winless streak in the Premier League.
Currently, Brighton is 14th in the standings, nine points clear of the relegation zone. Under the guidance of their manager, the team has struggled away from home, failing to win any of their last five matches. In their previous encounter with Villa, they lost a close 4–3 game. A good result today is crucial for their season and to prevent dropping further down the table.
Brighton Team News
The squad faces significant challenges due to injuries, with key players like Solly March, Adam Webster, and Mats Wieffer sidelined. The manager might count on James Milner’s experience in midfield. If he plays, he will break the record for the most Premier League appearances at 654 games. Jan Paul van Hecke is also uncertain for the defensive lineup.
Bart Verbruggen is set to start in goal, with captain Lewis Dunk anchoring the defense. Ferdi Kadıoğlu and Maxim De Cuyper will provide width as full-backs. In midfield, Carlos Baleba and Pascal Groß aim to control the game. Upfront, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter will support Danny Welbeck. Additionally, Brighton has a poor record on Wednesdays, winning only three of their last 26 matches on these days.
