Brighton vs Aston Villa pre-match thread - Saturday, Feb 13th - 8pm

[Toronto Villa]

Brighton beat us in game at Villa Park that we weren't particularly good in and one that also ended very controversially. We are going to a place where the home team doesn't win a lot (fact not a jinx statement). So with I want to see us take the game to them as much play on the break. We have more than enough ability to win this game if we play our best.

I'll go 2-0 to us - Watkins and Jack

We will have had our rest both mentally and physically. This is a very good marker as to where we are. We should be going down there for the win and nothing else, that's not to take the opposition lightly of course, but we have the quality to pick up points in games such as this. However, the element of surprise is why we love the game so much. Intriguing.

We are overdue a draw but I want to be confident, hopefully in line with the management and players.

1-3

We lost the home game with brighton because we only had 1 training session after the international break. They had two weeks to prepare for the match. This time we have a week to prepare, they are in the cup mid week so they will only have two days to prepare for us. Villa to win.

Last up Saturday evening is a bit of a pain. Brighton won't just sit back and pack the box so it should be a pretty open game. Barkley should be dropped anyway and perhaps McGinn. Might be the ideal game to bring Sanson in for. Lots of selection options anyway across the midfield.

Well organised with a nasty little fucker up front. Similar to Southampton in style. Get the first goal and we will be allright.

Noticed that and hopefully the additional rest will give us an edge. Similarly with Leicester we'll have another week's rest and they'll be playing their 5th game in 2 weeks.

Nah, not the whole team. Just Maupay. No doubt he and Konsa will be exchanging pleasantries again.

I don't mind Brighton when they are not playing us. But they are playing us.

2-1 to us.
