Saturday’s Premier League TV schedule kicks off with the battle of the new bosses as Unai Emery’s Aston Villa take on Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton.

The latter has had a little longer to settle into his role and led his side to a second consecutive victory on the weekend as they followed up their hammering of Chelsea with a 3-2 win over Wolves at Molineux.

The Seagulls sit sixth in the Premier League table and are good value for their position – having evolved over the past few years with the sort of trajectory that Emery will hope to see Aston Villa emulate under his management.

His tenure could not have started better as the West Midlands club beat Man Utd 3-1 at Villa Park on Sunday.

It will take a while before we see Emery’s Aston Villa really take shape but the emphasis on defensive structure and dynamic attackers that was key to their success over the Red Devils will surely be central to their identity moving forward.

With the World Cup nearly upon us, both sides will be keen to take all three points and carry some momentum into the break.

Our prediction: Brighton v Aston Villa

After such an impressive performance and result last weekend, Emery will surely be tempted to name an unchanged side against Brighton, particularly as their midfield box proved so effective against Man Utd’s 4-2-3-1 – the same formation De Zerbi has preferred in recent weeks.

Sunday’s hosts are less fragile than the Red Devils, however, and will be a tough test for Aston Villa at the Amex.

They really seem to have found their groove under the Italian coach and will know that three points should see them reach the World Cup break in the European places – and above Graham Potter’s Chelsea.

Our prediction: Brighton 2-1 Aston Villa (17/2 at bet365)
