The Premier League<\/a> weekend starts on Friday when Brighton<\/a> take on Southampton<\/a> at the Amex Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brighton vs Southampton predicted lineups<\/h2>\n

Brighton (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Julio, Estupinan; O\u2019Riley, Ayari; Rutter, Joao Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck<\/p>\n

Southampton (4-3-3): <\/strong>McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Stephens, Manning; Aribo, Downes, Fernandes; Dibling, Armstrong, Archer<\/p>\n

This south-coast clash is important for both sides for different reasons and there will be an expectant crowd at Brighton following the Seagulls’ excellent start to the campaign.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls underwent a big change over the summer when Fabian Hurzeler took the reins from Roberto De Zerbi, but the German has had a great effect and his team can go second in the Premier League table if they can gain three points.<\/p>\n

Leaders Liverpool<\/a> and improving Chelsea<\/a> are the only teams to have beaten Brighton in the top flight this season and the hosts should be confident of seeing off the Saints, who have yet to gain a point on their travels this term.<\/p>\n

Russell Martin\u2019s side have found life difficult in tier one after winning the Championship playoff final last season and have just a 1-0 home victory over Everton<\/a> to show for their efforts.<\/p>\n

Having scored twice in defeat to Liverpool last Sunday, they can ensure Brighton don\u2019t have everything their own way. But the Saints\u2019 record on their travels does not inspire confidence.<\/p>\n

This match will kick off at 8pm and is scheduled to be televised live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.<\/p>\n

Brighton vs Southampton team news<\/h2>\n

Brighton will be forced to make changes in midfield as Carlos Baleba is suspended for one match following his two yellow cards in the 2-1 victory over Bournemouth last week.<\/p>\n

Hopes are high that Tariq Lamptey and Lewis Dunk could be available after the two defenders have fought their way back to fitness after calf injuries.<\/p>\n
