Aston Villa have won their last four Premier League games against Brighton, scoring exactly two goals each time.
Brighton have lost three of their four Premier League away games against Aston Villa, with the exception being a 2-1 victory in November 2020.
Aston Villa have started a season with four wins in their opening six Premier League games (L2) for a seventh time. They’ve only won five of their opening seven games twice before, in 1998-99 under John Gregory and 2020-21 under Dean Smith.
Brighton and Hove Albion have won five of their first six Premier League games this season (L1), reaching that total in half as many games as last season (12th game). The Seagulls last won six of their first seven league games in a season in 2015-16 in the Championship (W6 D1).
Aston Villa are on a run of nine consecutive home Premier League wins, their best home winning league run since a 13-game spell between February and October 1983. Villa could also become the ninth different team to have had a run of 10 or more consecutive home wins in the Premier League.
Brighton have scored in 22 consecutive Premier League games, scoring 51 times across this run. However, they’ve only kept six clean sheets in this time, conceding in all six games this season. Only five teams have both scored and conceded in their opening seven games of a season, most recently Bournemouth in 2019-20.
Since a three-game losing run against Leicester, Man City and Arsenal in February, Aston Villa have won 14 of their last 21 Premier League games (D3 L4). In this timeframe (February 25th onwards), only Manchester City (55) and Liverpool (48) have won more points in the division than Villa (45).
Only five players have more Premier League assists in 2023 than Brighton full-back Pervis Estupiñán (8), who has three in five games this season. The Ecuadorian has created 47 chances in open play this calendar year, second only to Bruno Fernandes (74).
Kaoru Mitoma scored two goals as a sub in Brighton’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League on MD6, taking his total to 10 in the competition. He’s only the second Japanese player to reach double figures for goals, along with Shinji Okazaki (14 for Leicester, 2015-19).
Ollie Watkins netted his first Premier League goal of the season for Aston Villa last time out in a 1-0 win over Chelsea. He’s scored in each of his last three appearances against Brighton, with only Sergio Agüero, Jamie Vardy and Phil Foden scoring in four in a row against the Seagulls in the competition.
