  • 10' The 31-year-old Morgan Sanson has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' It looks surprising Brighton & Hove Albion FC does not make any changes. Neal Maupay has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 51' Bertrand Traore needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ollie Watkins made 344 appearances and scored 138 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 61' Aston Villa FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ahmed El Mohamady is hanging Matty Cash on the field on 61 minute.
  • 62' The whistle greets Steven Alzate as he departs to be replaced by Adam Lallana.
