Aston Villa v Brighton LIVE commentary: Seagulls look to go top of Premier League – kick-off time, team news and how to follow
Aston Villa and Brighton will both look to bounce back from their cup exits when they meet in the Premier League this weekend.
The two European sides have both enjoyed impressive starts to the season before each crashing out of the Carabao Cup to lower teams.
Villa, who sit in sixth after four wins and two defeats, fell to a surprising 2-1 defeat at home to 15th-placed Everton in midweek.
But in-form Brighton arguably suffered a bigger shock as Chelsea, only one point above the Toffees, scored their first goal in September to seal a 1-0 win and snap a three-game barren run.
The Seagulls sit third in table and can even go above league leaders Manchester City with a victory with a winning margin of three goals.
This Premier League clash will take place on Saturday, September 30.
Kick-off at Villa Park will take place at 12:30pm.
