Brighton and Hove Albion welcome Crystal Palace to the Amex Stadium on Monday night for a Premier League clash.
Brighton are unbeaten in their last six league games, and have taken big scalps like Liverpool in that period.
Those results have ensured that Brighton have been able to climb up to 16th in the Premier League standings. They currently have 26 points from 24 games, and have a point more than Newcastle United at the moment.
However, Brighton are still not completely out of the woods in terms of being dragged into a relegation scrap. They have just four points more than Fulham, who beat bottom club Sheffield United on Saturday.
In their last Premier League game, Brighton drew 0-0 with Aston Villa to extend their unbeaten league run.
Palace, on the other hand, have shown inconsistency recently. Following two excellent wins against Wolves and Newcastle United, they lost their last two league games against Leeds and Burnley.
They were dire in their last game, which they lost 3-0 to the Clarets at Selhurst Park. Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Jay Rodriguez and Matt Lowton scored in that game, as Roy Hodgson’s side were put to the sword.
Palace currently have three points more than Brighton this season, and sit in 14th place.
Brighton have won 40, while losing 37 of the 104 clashes that they have had against Crystal Palace.
In the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park earlier this season, Alexis Mac Allister scored a 90th-minute goal to earn a point for Brighton. Wilfred Zaha had opened the scoring for Crystal Palace.
Brighton’s Solly March could miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Tariq Lamptey’s thigh injury will continue to keep him out of action as well. Striker Florin Andone and defender Adam Webster are also ruled out for this game.
Injured: Solly March, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Florin Andone
Zaha is a huge miss for Crystal Palace, with the star attacker suffering from a hamstring problem.
Defenders James Tomkins, Mamadou Sakho and Joel Ward are all injured. Meanwhile, there are doubts over the fitness of midfielders James McArthur and James McCarthy.
Injured: Wilfred Zaha, Mamadou Sakho, James Tomkins, Joel Ward
Doubtful: James McArthur, James McCarthy
Crystal Palace have scored in all but one of their seven PL meetings with Brighton
They only failed in their 0-0 draw in their first meeting, in November 2017
Brighton have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three home matches
They have never kept four in a row in the Premier League
Brighton have never won a Premier League game on a Monday (D6 L2) – only Hull City (10) have played more games on this day of the week without ever winning in the competition’s history.
Brighton’s Starting XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, White, Burn, Alzate, Bissouma, Gross, Mac Allister, Trossard, Maupay.
Crystal Palace’s Starting XI: Guaita, Ward, Kouyate, Cahill, Mitchell, Townsend, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Eze, Ayew, Mateta.
Crystal Palace have lost 18 of their last 20 Premier League games in which Wilfried Zaha hasn’t played, with the Eagles failing to score in 16 of those 18 defeats.
