Aston Villa host Brighton at Villa Park in their final game of the season and will be looking to end the campaign on a positive note. After a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in their last game, the side will be determined to finish strong and get a good result in front of the home crowd.
Unai Emery is likely to opt for a 4-4-2 formation and is expected to make a change to the starting XI for this game. Leon Bailey will make way for Emi Bunedia as he looks to form a two-man striker with Ollie Watkins to lead the charge.
4-4-2 Aston Villa Predicted XI vs Brighton
defense
Emiliano Martinez will continue for Villan after failing to keep a clean sheet in the previous game. Tyrone Mings will resume his partnership with Ezri Konsa at centre-back to be at the heart of Villa’s defence, as they try to keep opponents out throughout the game.
Marty Cash will work tirelessly at right-back, while Lucas Digne has proved his worth at left-back on the other side. They have to defend their box well and try to create good chances.
midfielder
Douglas Luiz will join Bubbacar Kamara in midfield as they focus on controlling the midfield battle and creating tempting chances for their teammates in the final third.
John McGinn will try to play for the West Midlands club on the right. Jacob Ramsey will try to prove himself as a left winger.
attack
Ollie Watkins and Amy Buendia will lead the charge offensively. They will all be eager to find the back of the net when they face off against opposing defenders this weekend.
Bertrand Traore will sit on the bench and wait for his chance to shine in the second half.
