THE PREDICTION
Fierce rivals Brighton and Crystal Palace lock horns on the South Coast in a fixture that means so much to both sets of supporters. The Seagulls are the form side heading into this encounter, having not lost in their last six Premier League games. Crystal Palace meanwhile, have lost their last two matches, conceding five goals and not finding the net themselves. It is clear that the away side are desperately missing key attacker Wilfried Zaha and his absence here through injury tips the balance of the contest firmly in Brighton’s favour. The hosts have shone defensively over the course of their unbeaten league run, conceding just one goal in those six matches and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them keep another clean sheet here as well as securing the victory.
