Overview
- Kick-off is Sunday, Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. GMT at the Amex Stadium, live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League/Main Event, with Peacock (US), Jio Hotstar (India) and Stan Sport (Australia).
- Brighton sit 13th on 31 points after 24 games, with Palace two points and two places back seeking a win that would move them above their rivals.
- Form lines are bleak: Brighton have one win in their last 11 league matches, while Palace are winless in 12 across all competitions and on a nine-match league drought.
- Injury lists are lengthy: Brighton rule out Mats Wieffer, Adam Webster, Solly March and Stefanos Tzimas, with Diego Gomez listed as a doubt; Palace are without Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eddie Nketiah, Daichi Kamada, Borna Sosa, Cheick Doucoure and Justin Devenny, with Adam Wharton back from suspension.
- Referee Thomas Bramall will take charge with James Bell on VAR, as Palace’s recent attacking additions Jørgen Strand Larsen and Evann Guessand look to lift a goal-shy side.
