Brighton are unchanged from their draw with Villa last time out, but Palace have rung the changes. Out go Patrick van Aanholt, Scott Dann, Nathaniel Clyne, Christian Benteke and Michy Batshuayi from the starting line-up, and in come Gary Cahill, Joel Ward, Andros Townsend, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell. That’s a decent sign that manager Roy Hodgson is not a happy man with what he saw in the loss to Burnley.
Three points separate these sides before kick-off, and Brighton (on 26 points) could go above Palace (29) on goal difference with a win. A comfortable mid-table finish is on offer for both clubs, but neither are completely safe from being sucked into a bit of relegation trouble just yet.
