This Saturday, September 30, Brighton will go to Aston Villa in the Premier League without five important players.
When Brighton plays Aston Villa in the noon kickoff, they will have the opportunity to temporarily take the league lead.
Albion lost to Chelsea earlier this week in the EFL Cup semifinals, but the team will try to continue its strong start to the regular season after winning five of its first six games.
Due to muscular issues, James Milner and Pascal Gross were unable to attend the loss at Stamford Bridge. In his pre-game press conference, Brighton manager De Zerbi stated that neither player had recovered in time for Saturday’s encounter.

Update on Pascal Gross’s injuries before the games against Aston Villa and Marseille
The Irish striker played only 45 minutes in Brighton’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday after missing Brighton’s Europa League match against AEK Athens last Thursday due to illness.
“Evan is good, he worked yesterday very well,” De Zerbi said. “We have to choose tomorrow.”
De Zerbi, who has made over 30 substitutions in Brighton’s last four games, is expected to tweak his squad once more before Thursday’s critical Europa League match against Marseille.
After sitting on the bench for Wednesday’s match at Chelsea, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster, and Solly March will likely be inserted back into the starting lineup.
