Brighton vs Aston Villa: Premier League preview

Brighton and Villa collected three points each at the weekend to reinforce their European football credentials.

The Seagulls beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, adding a fine away victory to the home record upon which their improving fortunes have been built.

Hurzeler's team are unbeaten in four matches in the Premier League, winning three and drawing away against bitter rivals Crystal Palace in early November.

That was only the second time this season that Brighton have failed to score in a Premier League match. Arsenal, the league's stingiest defence, kept them out in the Carabao Cup. Palace have the joint-second best defensive record in the league.

The team with whom they share that honour? Aston Villa. Emery's players have been far from prolific in front of goal but the back four that's been in place since Pau Torres returned to favour have been incredibly consistent.

Villa's xG has been picked over since their win over Wolves, which took them briefly into third despite a low total quality of chances for the season so far.

Their solution is one of high risk and high reward. Scoring nine of their 16 Premier League goals from outside the penalty area is entertaining, certainly, but it remains to be seen whether the threat forces opponents to ease up on the low block that stymies Villa.

They've won their last five matches in the Premier League and Europa League. Put that up against Brighton's home record and something has to give.
