Brighton v Crystal Palace predictions

Several clubs are involved in the top-four race, including seventh-placed Brighton, who can boost their chances with a victory over bitter rivals Crystal Palace on the south coast.

Roberto De Zerbi's side are playing some slick football and could make some headway in the next few weeks because all of their next three league fixtures are on home soil.

Making the most of home advantage has not always been simple for the Seagulls, but there have been positive signs in 2023 with nine points taken from four Amex encounters.

While Brighton hope to set the scene for a European adventure, Palace face a scrap for survival.

Patrick Vieira's side have spent much of the season in mid-table but they have not won since the turn of the year and are just three points above the drop zone.

There is an urgent need to stop the rot but Palace face tough fixtures at Brighton and Arsenal this week and are likely to start off with a defeat.
