The 4-1 loss included some injury, added to insult, in the form of No. 1 goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who had to be replaced by Robin Olsen at halftime. "He was feeling yesterday a little bit of pain," Villa manager Unai Emery said of Martinez.

Both Villa and Brighton have qualified for Europe in recent years, … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Starting XI Prediction vs Brighton
