Premier League football returns with Brighton and Aston Villa coming into the new season on very different runs. Brighton closed their preseason with a goalless draw at Tromso, following three straight wins over Bologna, Roma and Strasbourg. Aston Villa, on the other hand, arrive off three consecutive defeats, against Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Mönchengladbach, which came after their only summer win, over BG Pathum United. The recent head to head favours Villa: three wins in the last five meetings against a single Brighton win, with one draw between them, and the most recent clash, in February 2026, finished 1-0 to the visitors. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
