How to watch Brighton vs Aston Villa - Live stream and TV channel for Premier League clash
It will be a battle of Champions League hopefuls when Unai Emery's men go to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League
Aston Villa will aim to give their chances of playing European football again next season a huge boost when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Unai Emery's men are making waves on several fronts - they booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals by beating Championship side Preston North End on Sunday, while they also have a Champions League last eight tie to come against PSG.
But it is the Premier League they will be focusing on against the Seagulls, who are also in the frame for a potential top five finish.
Both sides go into the game in relatively good form. Villa are ninth, just four points off the crucial top four places, while Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton are two points and two places better off. It will be a huge result for either of the teams if they can claim three points.
What time does Brighton vs Aston Villa kick-off?
The match will take place at the Amex Express Stadium on Wednesday (April 2). Kick off is scheduled for 7.45pm. It is one of six Premier League matches taking place that night. Bournemouth host Ipswich Town, Manchester City entertain Leicester City, Brentford go to Carabao Cup winners Newcastle United, basement side Southampton play Crystal Palace, while leaders Liverpool have a Merseyside Derby against Everton at Anfield.
