Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi is seeking a big performance from Ansu Fati today.

Brighton face Aston Villa in the early kickoff and admits he's primed Fati for the game.

De Zerbi said: Ansu played 45 minutes on Sunday against Bournemouth.

Now, when I decide the first XI, I stay in my office with my staff and the medical staff.

Ansu in the last period didn't play so many games.

If I play 90 minutes with him it is a big risk for him, for us.

But the same is for (Adam) Lallana, for Welbeck. After the game I spoke with him and I told him he could play only 45 minutes to be in good condition for Saturday.

Because on Saturday we have another big, big game."
