The confirmed lineups for Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Kick-off is fast approaching for this evening’s pivotal Premier League clash between Brighton and Aston Villa at the American Express Stadium.
Tonight’s game has rightfully been billed as a six-pointer as both teams are very near to one another in the fight for European qualification. As it stands, Brighton are in seventh and two points ahead of Villa down in ninth. The gap between the Seagulls and the top five, meanwhile, is just one point.

Unai Emery has opted for two changes from the lineup that beat Preston North End 3-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final, bringing in Pau Torres and John McGinn for Tyrone Mings and Marco Asensio. The Seagulls, meanwhile, have swapped out five of the players who started against Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Carlos Baleba is the surprise omission.
