THE LOWDOWN

BRIGHTON

  • Brighton remain within a real shout of a European place with Roberto De Zerbi’s men now unbeaten in seven games in all competitions heading into this fixture.
  • Adam Lallana has been ruled out for an extended period of time while Danny Welbeck is not available for selection here so De Zerbi may turn to Deniz Undav once more, while Evan Ferguson is an alternative option to lead the line.

FULHAM

  • Fulham are looking and playing like a top-half side at the moment with their goalless draw with Chelsea followed by a 2-0 victory over fellow promoted side Nottingham Forest, and the confidence is high in the camp right now.
  • Antonee Robinso, Willian and Aleksandar Mitrovic are all minor doubts with a mixture of injury and illness but all signs from Marco Silva’s press conference pointed towards the trio being available so an unchanged line-up would not be a surprise.

THE TEAM NEWS

BRIGHTON

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan; Gross, Caicedo; March, Mac Allister, Mitoma; Ferguson

UNAVAILABLE: Colwill (Injured), Moder (Injured), Lallana (Injured), Welbeck (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE:

FULHAM

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Decordova-Reid, Pereira, Willian; Mitrovic

UNAVAILABLE: Kebano (Injured), Cairney (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Robinson (Illness), Willian (Injured), Mitrovic (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Both of these teams are in fine form right now as they seek a top-half finish with Brighton in particular dreaming of playing European football this season. They will see this fixture as an excellent opportunity to put a dent in one of their rivals’ hopes for a European berth, and they are certainly capable of doing just that given their recent displays. With the Seagulls having kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 Premier League games though, Fulham could easily get on the scoresheet at some point, so both teams to score in a Brighton victory is the prediction.

TIP: BRIGHTON TO WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
