Brighton & Hove Albion-Aston Villa Preview

Graham Potter says his Brighton and Hove Albion team are preparing to face an Aston Villa side possessing one of the Premier League's best players in Jack Grealish.

Villa enjoyed a brilliant start to the campaign, though successive defeats set them back before Dean Smith's side returned to form with a 3-0 victory at Arsenal prior to the international break.

With four goals and five assists from seven league appearances to his name already this season, Grealish has been the key man, and the Villa captain has subsequently played a starring role for England.

Brighton, who sit 16th – 10 places and nine points behind Villa – are next up on Saturday, and Potter knows his team are going up against one of the league's best players.
