A 1-1 draw and a point gained against Liverpool in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Aston Villa last time out.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Liverpool, who had 10 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games.  

They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.

Brighton & Hove Albion will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Manchester City last time out.  They came away from that fixture with a 39% share of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Manchester City, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.  

Manager Roberto De Zerbi will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row.  

It's been mixed fortunes for Brighton away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.  

Julio Enciso is the man of the moment at Brighton & Hove Albion right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
