West Ham Preview & Form
Aston Villa have blown hot and cold this season, as they have only managed three wins in the league since late October, but they remained in a good spot for a top-six finish. Unai Emery’s men have recorded three wins and two defeats in the last five matches, with the most recent ending in a frustrating Boxing Day result as they were hammered 3-0 by Newcastle United at St. James Park.

Unai Emery’s men have remained solid at Villa Park this season, having suffered only one defeat in the last 12 matches across all competitions and having remained unbeaten in the last five. They are currently on a hot three-match winning streak on their home soil, with the last game at Villa Park seeing them outclass struggling defending champions Manchester City 2-1 before Christmas. They have scored in each of their last five home games. Unai Emery’s men will feel confident about avoiding defeat against the Seagulls with the head-to-head record indicating they have remained unbeaten at Villa Park since 2021.
Brighton Preview & Form
After a bright start to the season, Brighton are currently experiencing a dreadful run of form, having now gone on a sequence of six games without a win in the Premier League.
