Match Preview

Brighton will be aiming to get back to form in the Premier League this Sunday after failing to win in their last three matches. The Seagulls threw away a two-goal advantage in their previous outing against Leicester and were forced to settle for a point.

Crystal Palace could bring slightly better form into the M23 derby this weekend after avoiding defeat in each of their last four matches. Huge confidence would have been gained following a 2-2 draw against Man City last weekend, which leaves them four points clear of the drop zone.

Brighton have picked up victories in their last two home matches against the Eagles, but they haven’t recorded three successive wins against their local rivals in front of their home fans since 1988. Meanwhile, the Eagles are winless in their last six against Brighton, but four draws have been played out over that period.

Brighton have excelled and underwhelmed at both ends of the field since the start of last season, with the Seagulls having conceded and scored in 37 Premier League matches. They have also followed that trend in each of the last seven.

The Eagles have impressed on the road in recent weeks after going three without defeat. They will be looking for successive away wins in the competition for the first time since April 2023 on Sunday. However, Brighton are one of three teams yet to lose at home this term.
