THE PREDICTION
An early goal from Ollie Watkins was enough to give Aston Villa a 1-0 victory against Arsenal last weekend, whilst Brighton settled for a 1-1 draw away at Burnley thus extending their unbeaten run to five Premier League games. A close encounter is expected in this contest, however that doesn’t mean it should be short of goals. The last seven matches between these two teams in all competitions has seen both teams find the net and when you consider that Brighton have scored in their last three league games and Villa in their last five, it would be a surprise if either side were not to score here regardless of the outcome.
