Brighton and Aston Villa battle it out on Wednesday night at the Amex, with both teams still scrapping for European finishes this season.
The Seagulls have been in impressive form, with four wins and a draw in their last five Premier League outings.
A Champions League finish remains very much a possibility for Fabian Hurzeler’s side as they sit just one point behind fifth-placed Manchester City.
Villa, of course, are still in the Champions League this season but would love to secure a return through their league position.
They are lagging behind a little but could improve their position markedly on Wednesday night on the south coast as a victory would see them leapfrog the Seagulls.
