18.08.26

The Premier League season starts up again this weekend. Our first preview of this season is the match between BRIGHTON and HOVE ALBION v ASTON VILLA on Sunday 23rd August at 2pm at the Amex Stadium.

The clubs have met just 37 times previously with Albion winning 6, Villa 21 and 10 draws. (No wonder Albion fans reckon Villa are one of their bogey teams).

Their first ever meeting was on 5th September 1910. Albion, as Southern League champions, met Villa, the Football League champions, the winner taking the Charity Shield and accolade of Champions of All England. Albion won 1-0. It took another 45 years before they met again, this time in the FA Cup. On 8th January 1955 the clubs drew 2-2 at the Goldstone Ground. The replay at Villa Park on 10th January saw Villa win 4-2. They have met just once more in the Fa Cup. on 23rd January 2010 Villa won 3-2.

The first League meeting between the clubs was on 22nd August 1959, at the Goldstone Ground, a Division Two match, which Villa won 2-1. Over the years BHA and AV have also played against each other in Division Three, Division One, League Championship, and over the last seven seasons in the Premier League. In those 14 PL matches, the Seagulls have only won twice, hence the bogey man team.

Their last meeting was on 11th February 2026 at Villa Park. It was “sods law” for Albion as up until the 86th minute the teams were drawing 0-0. Then Jack Hinshelwood scored an own goal. 1-0 to Villa at full time. Seagull manager Fabian Hurzeler will be hoping for better luck at the Amex this coming weekend.

Over the recent years a number of players have played for both clubs, including James Milner, Steve Sidwell, Darren Bent, Tommy Elphick, Lee Hendrie and Joe Bennett.

If travelling to the match, why not visit the Terrace, the largest PL fan zone located at a stadium.
