BBC expert Mark Lawrenson gave his prediction for the Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion this afternoon (Saturday). .

Villa welcomes the seagulls in the first game after the last international break, in which Jack Grealish once again impressed on the world stage.

Dean Smith’s men had an impressive start to the season, winning five of their first seven league games, including a 3-0 win over Arsenal in their last game.

Brighton, on the other hand, got off to a much slower start, winning one and drawing three more of its first eight league games. The Seagulls lost 2-1 to Tottenham in their last game.

The form table suggests a win for Villa, but as we all know, that’s not how football works and former Premier League striker Michael Owen predicted the game between the two teams would end a point .

« I love the way Jack Grealish and Ross Barkley bond for Aston Villa and Ollie Watkins in his first season in the Premier League. « He wrote on the BBC Sport website.

â ???? When everything clicks, Villa looks very good. They totally outperformed Arsenal earlier this month, taking that extraordinary win over Liverpool in October.

But they have also lost at home to Leeds and Southampton in the past few weeks so it’s not easy to predict what they will do next.

â ???? I’m also not sure what to expect from Brighton either. At the start of the season, they looked very dangerous in future games against Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United.

â € ”That hasnâ € ™ t been the case recently with West Brom and Burnley. The Seagulls have drawn a lot of games in the past few weeks and I think they could share the points again in the end. â ????
