Aston Villa will have home field advantage for their final Premier League fixture of 2024.
Unai Emery’s side were well beaten at Newcastle on Boxing Day, and a run of two defeats in three have seen them drop to ninth in the standings.
Brighton have failed to win in their last five league matches, and have been held to two successive draws over the festive period. However, a win on Monday would see them leapfrog Villa in the table.
