Stuttering Aston Villa have a great chance ot get back on track on Wednesday evening, as they host out-of-form Brighton in a key clash at Villa Park.
Villa have picked up just five points from their last five matches, a run of results that has effectively ended their title hopes and left them nervously looking over their shoulders at the teams chasing them for a Champions League place. Saturday's slightly fortunate 1-1 draw at Bournemouth highlighted a worrying lack of creativity in Unai Emery's side, something the Spanish boss will be desperate to rectify ahead of a tough run of fixtures.
Brighton's 0-1 loss at home to Palace on Sunday means the Seagulls have won just one of their last 11 Premier League games. For the first time in his tenure as Brighton boss, Fabian Hurzeler is under pressure to retain his job; three points at Villa Park would go some way towards getting a disgruntled fanbase back on side.

Our Aston Villa vs Brighton Prediction
Brighton looked completely devoid of attacking ideas in the dismal weekend defeat to Palace, so we can't see them causing too many problems for a Villa defence that has been one of the best units in the Premier League this season.
At the other end of the pitch, Villa have also struggled for creativity and goals in recent weeks, which means we could be set for a low scoring encounter on Wednesday night.
Our prediction for Aston Villa vs Brighton and Hove Albion is: Under 2.5 goals.
