A spot in the Europa Conference League could be achieved by the Villa here, so plenty at stake for the home side. Brighton already have their Europa League ticket secured, so there's a massive incentive for one side, and not so much, despite their marvellous form in the main, for the other.
Brighton confirmed their status as one of the league's great entertainers by drawing the other day with champions Manchester City, and Enciso's equalising goal was one for the ages. Villa, under Emery, have been almost as impressive, and just 4 points separate the sides.
If Villa win, forget any permutations regarding Spurs, or Brentford. It's in their hands. European qualification. And look what West Ham have made of entry into that competition, this very season. If that's not motivation enough ..

Villa to win
It's all there for them. Incentives-R-Us. Europe. And with manager Emery's credentials in European competition that could mean a very deep run - you never know.
I'm looking to keep this nice and straightforward - they need to win, they're at home, and their opponent could be excused for mentally being on a beach somewhere. Brighton's race to Europe is run. Sorted. A wonderful achievement. Now it's Villa's turn ..
Ollie Watkins to score at any time
He's the main man up front, remains in England conversations, and has blossomed in recent seasons. A fine leader of the line, pace, skill, goals. If Villa are to prevail here it's not hard thinking he'll need to be a big slice of all that.
Can he step up? You betcha.
If pressed for a scoreline I'd be tempted with 3-1, which is a 12/1 chance.
