Brighton & Hove Albion host Aston Villa at American Express Community Stadium on Monday in Gameweek 1 of the 2026 EPL season. Here’s our preview and best markets.
Heading to the south coast, Brighton will take on Aston Villa at the Amex in what, based on the last couple of seasons, should be a pretty good opening-weekend showdown.
Brighton have been doing some shrewd business in the transfer market, once again stacking their squad with young talent. Villa, meanwhile, have been on the other end of the food chain, getting picked apart by “bigger clubs”, with the likes of Morgan Rogers and Ezri Konsa heading to some of London’s biggest sides. It now feels like they are missing their heart and soul, which suits Brighton perfectly as they look to get their season underway on the right foot.
