THE LOWDOWN
BRIGHTON
It was yet another impressive performance from Brighton last weekend when they came away from Old Trafford with all three points and they sit on a commendable tally total of 12 points from a possible 15.
Their only blip in the Premier League to date was the 1-3 defeat to West Ham at the end of August, while their first foray into European football saw them lose 2-3 to AEK Athens on Thursday.
BOURNEMOUTH
Bournemouth remain winless in the Premier League this season but deserve credit for holding cash-rich Chelsea to a stalemate last Sunday, with Andoni Iraola particularly complimentary of the performance of his players.
In what was the first goalless draw of the Premier League season, there were chances for either side to break the deadlock but some wasteful finishing kept the match scoreless. As a result, the Cherries' wait for a first Premier League victory under their new manager goes on.
THE TEAM NEWS
BRIGHTON
De Zerbi will rotate heavily following Thursday night's Europa League contest, but he could be restricted by a number of injury concerns.
Lewis Dunk, James Milner, Pascal Gross and Evan Ferguson all have varying levels of doubt hanging over them, but Ferguson is perhaps the likeliest to feature here given that it was illness that kept him out of the European fixture.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Steele, Veltman, Van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan; Dahoud, Gilmour; Adingra, Lallana, Mitoma; Ferguson
UNAVAILABLE: Moder (Injured), Enciso (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Dunk (Injured), Milner (Injured), Gross (Injured), Ferguson (Illness)
BOURNEMOUTH
The quartet of Tyler Adams, Ryan Fredericks, Emiliano Marcondes and Alex Scott are still in the treatment room, but Adams is the closest to a return and could feature before the international break.
Given how pleased he was with last week's display, Iraola is unlikely to make too may changes to his starting line-up.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Neto; Aarons, Zabarnyi, Kelly, Kerkez; Cook, Billing; Tavernier, Christie, Kluivert; Solanke
UNAVAILABLE: Adams (Injured), Fredericks (Injured), Marcondes (Injured), Scott (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
You are near enough guaranteed entertainment whenever Brighton take to the field, with both teams finding the net in their last ten games in all competitions - a run that stretches back to last season. Roberto De Zerbi's all-action approach has received plenty of plaudits and Bournemouth know they are in a tough afternoon on Sunday. The Cherries' wait for a Premier League win is likely to go on, but they will get chances against a side who take plenty of risks. Brighton occasionally come undone with this style, but that is unlikely to be the case in this fixture.
TIP: BRIGHTON TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS
