Brighton drew 0-0 away to Tromsø on Thursday in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League play-off. Their official report records 25 shots and six on target; UEFA also lists the first-leg score. On Sunday, Brighton host Aston Villa at 2:00pm WAT in the Premier League.
That short turnaround creates a visible match question without guessing at fatigue: can Brighton keep their midfield distances compact after travel and a high-volume European match? The first twenty minutes should show whether possession is controlled or merely accumulated.
Aston Villa’s official fixture notice confirms the Sunday opener and notes it was scheduled after Brighton’s Thursday European tie. Any rotation or injury claim remains off limits until the clubs publish team news.
