The opening match of the weekend in the English Premier League is the meeting between Aston Villa and Brighton.

The game will be played on the 30th of September at Villa Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 6th place on 12 points while the visitors are in 3rd place on 15 points.

Aston Villa come into the match on the back of a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Everton in the third round of the English Football League Cup on Wednesday night.

It was a disappointing result for Aston Villa as they selected a strong team. Everton opened the scoring in the 15th minute and doubled their advantage early in the second half. Aston Villa pulled one back in the 83rd minute but did not have enough time to find the equaliser.

The defeat to Everton was the third defeat in 5 fixtures in all competitions for Aston Villa. They lost 3-0 away to Liverpool in the Premier League and 3-2 at Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference League group stage.

There have been 2 wins for Aston Villa in their last 5 games, with the victories coming over Crystal Palace at home and Cheslea away in the Premier League.

Trends show Aston Villa are on a run of 9 consecutive home wins in the Premier League. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of Aston Villa's last 4 home league matches and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 league games on home soil.

Brighton make the trip to Villa Park having also been eliminated from the EFP Cup in midweek. The Seagulls lost 1-0 at Chelsea in the third round with the only goal of the match coming in the 50th minute.

The loss at Chelsea was the second defeat in 3 games for Brighton having also lost 3-2 at home to AEK Athens in the Europa League group stage.

However, there was a 3-1 league victory at home over Bournemouth sandwiched between the two defeats in the cup competitions.

Trends show Brighton have won each of their last 3 Premier League fixtures and have won 5 of their 6 league matches this season.

There have been wins at home over Luton Town, Newcastle United, and Bournemouth. The away wins have come at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United. In their 10 most recent Premier League games, Brighton have seen both teams score.

Team news and Aston Villa are without the injured duo of Tyrone Mings and Emiliano Buendia. They also have doubts over the fitness of Tim Iroegbunam.

Brighton travel without the injured trio of Julio Enciso, James Milner, and Pascal Groß. Jakub Moder is a doubt as he works his way back from a knee injury.

This could be one of the most exciting fixtures of the weekend in the Premier League. We expect to see plenty of attacking football, with both teams scoring and over 3.5 goals scored in total.

Brighton have recorded some impressive wins this season in the league and this could be another victory for the Seagulls.
