Villa, who sit in sixth after four wins and two defeats, fell to a surprising 2-1 defeat at home to 15th-placed Everton in midweek.
But in-form Brighton arguably suffered a bigger shock as Chelsea, only one point above the Toffees, scored their first goal in September to seal a 1-0 win and snap a three-game barren run.
The Seagulls sit third in table and can even go above league leaders Manchester City with a victory with a winning margin of three goals.

Brighton boss De Zerbi defended his team selection after the defeat by Chelsea.
He said: "We played good enough to win the game but to win you have to score.
"We didn't score in the first half when we had many chances to score. No difficult chances. We were not able to score, then you keep the game open.
"I am sorry, I'm disappointed for the result because I want to compete in four competitions. I think the first XI was enough to win the game.
"We have to adapt, we have to improve, The young players have to progress, but quickly, because in football we don't have time.
"I don't want to make any excuses. It was the right first XI to win the game."
