THE PREDICTION
Brighton find themselves in huge relegation trouble following another defeat this past weekend. The Seagulls are now only outside the bottom three by virtue of goal difference and questions are starting to be asked of head coach Graham Potter by the Brighton fans. They travel to Southampton attempting to end a run of three straight Premier League defeats against a side off the back of victory vs Sheffield Utd last time out. Brighton need to approach this game positively in a bid to pick up three points, however whilst they are expected to push bodies forward offensively and utilise their full-backs from an attacking perspective, this may well leave them exposed at the back and vulnerable to being punished by a pacy Southampton frontline. Whatever the result in this one, both teams are expected to score.
