Match preview

Brighton have the opportunity to pull clear of the Premier League relegation zone when they face Fulham but recent performances suggest the Cottagers could come out fighting at the Amex Stadium.

Scott Parker's Fulham side have lost their last three matches but their FA Cup defeat to Burnley was the consequence of fielding a much-changed side and they gave a great account of themselves in narrow losses to Chelsea and Manchester United.

Prior to those games, Parker's men had also drawn five successive games in the league against strong teams such as Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton, showing their defensive resolve has improved.

They also drew 0-0 with Brighton as part of that run but had plenty of chances in that game and given Albion's dismal home record this term, Fulham could go one better when the sides reconvene.

Brighton are the only Premier League club without a home win this term, having failed to win any of their last 13 league contests at the Amex stretching back to last season.

They at least managed to edge past Leeds 1-0 last time out but even that win was not entirely convincing, with Albion seeing only 33 per cent of the ball.

And with key players such as Danny Welbeck, Tariq Lamptey and Alireza Jahanbakhsh missing, Brighton may well find themselves sucked back into the relegation mix by a Fulham side with a point to prove in the Premier League this season. Back the Londoners with the insurance of the draw no bet.

Key stat

Brighton have claimed only one league win in their last ten assignments.
