Aston Villa will face Brighton at Villa Park on Wednesday, looking to strengthen their position in the Premier League’s top three.
Currently in third place, Villa is on a strong run under Unai Emery, but they come into this match after losing their last two home league games. Earlier in the season, they secured a dramatic 4–3 win against Brighton and aim to repeat that success, putting pressure on title rivals. Interestingly, Villa has won both of their midweek Premier League matches against Brighton since last season.
