Brighton
LLDLW
Brighton sit just within the division's top 10 level on points with Fulham on 51 points but holding an inferior goal difference. Fabian Hurzeler’s side have taken 13 wins this campaign and have seen a balanced approach in terms of offensive and defensive contributions. The Seagulls have scored on 56 occasions over this season and have been pegged by their opponents 55 different times. The hosts are favoured in terms of head-to-head records winning 9 of their past 21 occasions and failing to avoid defeats over the last four. The side won the initial tie in the PL this season with a lone goal victory at St. James’ Park and added another over their FA Cup tie.
