Villa’s draw at Liverpool last weekend put them in a strong position for European qualification. The hosts will be fiercely motivated to get a result here, knowing they could be overtaken by Tottenham or Brentford if they drop points.
This match means more to Villa than it does to Brighton. The opportunity to qualify for Europe should spur the Villains towards victory – they are a good bet at 6/5 to notch an 18th win of the season.

Watkins has found the net in his last two appearances against Brighton. At this price, the England international to score anytime is one of the top EPL tips this weekend.
