Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi gives suggestions for selection against Aston Villa
He completed a double against the Seagulls last season, and I remember their fight when I saw them win at the Amex Stadium shortly after he took charge. It will be interesting to see how Villa go this time, but we know what usually happens when teams actually go to Brighton and I don’t see Emery doing that.
“I still think there will be a goal because I expect Brighton to take their chances, but Villa are a balanced team and they will get something here.”
Sutton’s prediction:
Aston Villa 2-2 Brighton.
