Welcome to the exciting live coverage of Brighton vs. Crystal Palace in the Premier League at the fantastic Amex Stadium! Brighton wanted to bounce back from a recent loss in this high-stakes match, while Crystal Palace wanted to keep up their winning streak. This matchup between these two Premier League contenders was sure to be thrilling.

Brighton:

After their most disappointing performance of the season the previous time out, Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi will be eager to see his team turn things around. The Seagulls are back at the Amex Stadium for today's match after suffering a 4-0 loss away from home against Premier League struggling team Luton Town. Brighton has not lost in their previous nine home games (W4 D5), their longest winning streak since 2017. In the Premier League in January, De Zerbi's team was unable to score on 42 attempts.

Crystal Palace:

Palace defeated Sheffield United 3-2 at Selhurst Park in their most recent game, which was a better outcome than their opponents today. The Eagles have won as many games in their last 15 league contests combined (D5 L8) as they have in their last three Premier League games (L1). With a win today, Roy Hodgson's team, who has battled thus far in the Premier League, might move up to 12th place. Currently, they are only six points above the relegation zone. It would dismay Palace supporters to see Michael Olise start on the bench since he has contributed directly to at least one goal in each of his past five Premier League outings for Crystal Palace (5 goals, 3 assists).
