Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Aston Villa – Brighton match

Sky Sports football expert Charlie Nicholas thinks Aston Villa will beat Brighton & Hove Albion at Villa Park, 3-1. Pundit has explained his prediction. "The last couple of weeks with the international football, I have found myself looking at the stats, and I am not a stats man! With Aston Villa, John McGinn has done well, Jack Grealish has the quality, Wesley will and has scored if given the service, and they play wide men." Nicholas wrote on Sky Sports. "There is a lot that I like about Villa. Defensively they are vulnerable, but they will be safe. Graham Potter is wondering if he can change or make it different. He has changed the structure and it has not really worked, although they were fantastic against Tottenham. "It is attacking and it can work. Jose Izquierdo and Anthony Knockaert always played wide and they were the out ball. It wasn't always successful but it was a relief, but they don't have that now. I see a comfortable Villa win." he added.
