'Huge moment' - Paul Merson predicts the score of Aston Villa v Brighton clash

Paul Merson has delivered score prediction for the Aston Villa v Brighton clash. Steven Gerrard's side are currently 16th in the table having lost all of their previous 5 top flight matches. They could even go into the relegation zone if Albion manage to beat them. Meanwhile, Graham Potter’s men will be hoping to capture some points as well, with 4 draws and a defeat in their last 5 games. Speaking to Sportskeeda, the former Merson said.

“It's going to be a huge moment for Steven Gerrard as he takes charge of his first game as a Premier League manager.   "I felt Aston Villa were a bit hard on Dean Smith, but he's gone now and it's an opportunity for Gerrard to prove his worth. He's got a good squad at his disposal and will be expected to hit the ground running immediately after a fantastic spell with Rangers.   “This is a hard game for Villa as Brighton haven't been the easiest team to face in the Premier League this season, so I think it'll end all square.”

Merson has predicted a 1-1 draw.   Source - brightonandhoveindependent Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
