How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Aston Villa
Well organised and hard to play through, Villa usually earn results at Villa Park by winning the midfield battle.
Away
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton combine structure with enough quality in the final third to punish mistakes on their trip to Villa Park. Midfield control is their foundation.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Villa name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Brighton score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
