Brighton have played some impressive 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 with Leandro Trossard, Aaron Connolly and Davy Propper all struggling for full fitness, what is Brighton's strongest line-up for Villa Park?

9. Adam Lallana
Looking fit and confident and offers Brighton a creative spark. Capable of linking the midfield and attack and picking out that final pass. A vital role with Trossard struggling with injury
10. Neal Maupay
Has four goals this season and the Frenchman will be determined to add to that tally. Would like to see him play in the same position as he did against Burnley - slightly deeper just behind Welbeck
11. Danny Welbeck
Impressed against Burnley and offers Brighton a focal point up front. Would like to see his partnership with Maupay develop.
