How both teams go into Brighton vs Crystal Palace
Brighton will be very happy with the way life under Fabian Hurzeler is going. The Seagulls have taken 24 points from their opening 15 games, sitting seventh in the table and and only four points off the Champions League places with a game in hand. They’ve only lost three of their 15 games so far, beaten by Chelsea, Liverpool and, most recently, away at Fulham. But they have also secured wins over Man City and Manchester United.
Rivals Crystal Palace have struggled in Oliver Glasner’s first full season in charge. The Austrian wasn’t backed in the transfer window, with the Eagles also selling key players. And it’s coming back to bite them. Palace have taken thirteen points from their opening 15 games, keeping them outside the relegation zone by a point. They’ve managed just two wins so far this season, beating Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park, and securing an away win against Ipswich. There are some signs of life for Palace though, they are now undefeated in their last four Premier League games coming into this derby match.
Brighton team news
Brighton have a number of doubts for the game with Jack Hinshelwood, Joel Veltman, and Solly March all in that situation. But Adam Webster, Ferdi Kadioglu, and James Milner will definitely miss out.
Crystal Palace team news
Matheus Franca is Crystal Palace’s only confirmed absentee for this game, set to return from injury in the new year. However, Joel Ward and star midfielder Adam Wharton are also unlikely to miss out with their long term injuries.
Brighton vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
Brighton are unbeaten in their past six games against Crystal Palace, though four of those have been draws. The Seagulls have won their past two home league games against Palace.
