THE PREDICTION
It is the Graham Potter derby. Expected goals is a mostly useful but also often pretentiously used statistic that suggests the quality of a team’s performance. Brighton often had a high xG last season but struggled to convert their chances. They have flipped around this season and have collected 12 points already in this campaign. Swansea, led by Russell Martin, fought back from 3-0 down away at Luton Town on Saturday but the visitors remain in a poor position after a difficult adaptation to Martin’s tactics; his appointment came right on the eve of the season. Brighton’s depth is very strong and they will be the favourites for this one.
