Match preview

The fact that Brighton, who have lost six in a row, are 1-2 to beat any side merely tells you how desperate Amex arrivals Norwich are right now.

And it's true, the Canaries are, statistically, actually in worse form than the Seagulls – they've lost seven in a row.

They are also bottom of the Premier League and looking utterly doomed.

A spark is missing in both camps and with confidence low, expect a game which reflects that.

We know Brighton will play all the football and play it very nicely without much of a cutting edge and we also know that Norwich have put in some pretty tenacious efforts of late against Liverpool, Southampton and Chelsea without getting battered.

The draw sits up and begs though more of a gamble on no scorer at a fancier price reflects that lack of self-belief in either group.

Key stat

Brighton and Norwich have failed to score a combined 27 times in the league this season.
