Aston Villa suffered a huge setback in Europe

Brighton host Aston Villa at the Falmer Stadium on Sunday with the Seagulls aiming to get out of their slump, while Villa are closing in on Champions League qualification. Roberto De Zerbi’s side has not been particularly great this campaign, especially in recent months, and are now unlikely to end up in the top half of the standings. Currently, they are as low as 12th in the Premier League table with 44 points from 34 matches. This match is crucial for the home team as they are looking to get back their confidence.

Not many people expected Aston Villa to fight for a European competition spot, but now there is a very good chance that they could end up fourth and win a major European trophy. Aston Villa are 4th in the Premier League points table at the moment with 67 points from 35 matches and they are seven points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur who are placed 5th in the league, this will be an exciting match for sure for the spectators.

Players to Watch

Facundo Buonanotte (Brighton)

He is a player with a low centre of gravity, superb agility, body balance, changes of pace, and coordination and a creative player with very good technique on the ball, mobility, acceleration skills, fast direction shifts, short-dribbling, and good short-mid through passing ability. He possesses powerful long-range shooting skills with his left foot, it may become his weapon in the future if he improves his precision and he is very dangerous on the counter thanks to his pace and movement.

Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa)

He is very smooth on the ball when carrying it, he just glides past defenders and rides challenges well due to his good upper-body strength. He has a broad frame and uses it to his advantage by shielding the ball when carrying it. He is press-resistant and uses neat turns and flicks to beat his man or disguise passes. Luiz is very strong on duels and he is also good at passing both short and long passes.
