Brighton have played some decent football this season but one win in eight is a disappointing return for Graham Potter's men.
Their one victory arrived at Newcastle back in September and they are just three points above the drop zone with six from their first eight matches.
Their approach play has been good with Adam Lallana and Tariq Lamptey a particular threat.
But Aston Villa have been impressive this season with Jack Grealish, Ollie Watkins and Ross Barkley in top form for Dean Smith's men
Scroll down and click through to see our predicted starting XI for Albion.
9. Adam Lallana
The 32-year-old is looking fit and confident and provides that link between midfield and attack. Performed well against Burnleyand will hope to provide a goal threat and assists at Villa
10. Neal Maupay
Has four goals this campaign and will be determined to get on the scoresheet once again this afternoon. Will likely play in a deeper role behind Danny Welbeck
11. Danny Welbeck
Impressed against Burnley and would hope to see Welbeck start again at Villa. Offers a Brighton a focal point they have been missing since Glenn Murray's best days
