Brighton have only won one of their past 12 league games so the worry for them has to be that they will get sucked into the relegation scrap.

It was a 4-3 home defeat by Aston Villa in December that was the start of this poor run for Fabian Hurzeler's side, and I don't see it ending at Villa Park.

I'm surprised that the Seagulls are struggling. I looked at their bench against Crystal Palace at the weekend and thought ‘blimey, they’ve got a good squad’ – but they are underperforming and the fans seem really split on Hurzeler, and have been for a while.

Villa were lucky to get a point against Bournemouth at the weekend and I couldn’t believe how Lucas Digne just let Rayan run past him for the Cherries equaliser. He seemed to give up and it was astonishingly bad defending.

Unai Emery's side have lost their past two home league games, against Everton and Brentford, which worries me.

Will it be a hat-trick of home defeats, or will they come good again? I've got to back my old team, so I am going with my heart here and saying Morgan Rogers will make the difference.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1
