Brighton travel to Villa Park on Wednesday, aiming to end a five-match winless run in the Premier League.
The Seagulls endure a difficult period, sitting 14th and nine points clear of the drop zone. Fabian Hürzeler oversees a side struggling on the road. They have secured no wins in their last five away outings. Furthermore, Brighton lost a high-scoring 4–3 thriller in the reverse fixture. History also frowns upon them against Villa. A result tonight remains essential to stabilise their season and avoid slipping further down the table.
Brighton Team News
Fabian Hürzeler navigates a squad severely depleted by a growing injury list. Notably, Solly March, Adam Webster, and Mats Wieffer miss out. Consequently, the manager may rely on James Milner’s experience in midfield. If Milner features, he sets a new all-time Premier League appearance record of 654 games. Jan Paul van Hecke remains a major doubt for the defence.
Bart Verbruggen starts in goal. Captain Lewis Dunk leads the defence ahead of him. Ferdi Kadıoğlu and Maxim De Cuyper provide width from the full-back positions. In midfield, Carlos Baleba and Pascal Groß look to dictate the tempo. Further forward, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter support Danny Welbeck in the final third. Finally, Brighton must overcome their “Wednesday Woes.” They have won just three of 26 games played on this day.
Brighton Predicted Lineup
Brighton predicted XI: Verbruggen; Kadioglu, Boscagli, Dunk, De Cuyper; Milner, Baleba, Groß; Rutter, Welbeck, Mitoma
