Aston Villa fans can scarcely believe the progress the club has made in the last 12 months. From a relegation battle under Steven Gerrard, they are now playing in Europe and challenging at the top end of the Premier League. Shrewd signings and Unai Emery’s astute tactical brain have been the keys to success.

The likes of Ollie Watkins and Douglas Luiz are thriving under Emery and recent victories against Chelsea and Palace have thrust Villa into the top six. Victory on Saturday will temporarily put them in the Champions League places.

However you look at it, this is the greatest Brighton side in history. Not only has Roberto de Zerbi taken the Seagulls into Europe for the first time ever, but he also has his team playing arguably the most attractive football in the entire Premier League.

Five wins in their opening six Premier League games have solidified Brighton’s claims to be serious contenders. Should they beat Villa on Saturday, they would go level with Manchester City at the top of the table.

Head to Head

Villa are on a four game winning run against Brighton. Since the Seagulls joined the Premier League in 2019, they have beaten Villa just once in eight attempts. In fact, that victory was their only success versus Villa since 1980 and overall the Villains hold a 17-5 head to head advantage.

Our Betting Tip for Today

The bookies cannot split the two teams in this one and they are both priced at 33/20 for the win. The football betting odds on a draw are 3/1.

This should be a great game for neutrals. Both teams play attractive football and we were expecting plenty of goals. However, we agree with the bookies and think the two teams are virtually impossible to separate.

3/1 is not the greatest price you will ever find on a draw, but in this instance, we think it represents excellent value.
