Bournemouth vs Brighton and Hove Albion – Premier League preview, prediction, odds, how to watch and more

Brighton will hope to take advantage of Bournemouth's recent poor form and leapfrog the Cherries in the table when the two sides meet this weekend.

Eddie Howe's side have lost six of their last seven Premier League matches, while a late Eden Hazard strike saw them knocked out of the EFL Cup by Chelsea in midweek. 

Brighton on the other hand began December well by beating Huddersfield and Crystal Palace, but the subsequent optimism created ahead of the festive period has been tempered by defeats to Burnley and Chelsea over the last fortnight. 

What time does it start?

Bournemouth vs Brighton kicks off at 3pm (GMT)

Where can I watch it?

The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.

Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.

Player to watch…

Solly March: The 24-year-old was far and away Brighton's best player as they succumbed to defeat against Chelsea. The midfielder scored to set up a tense finale at the Amex and was a creative force all game. With Bournemouth missing midfielders Dan Gosling and Lewis Cook through injury, March's ability could see the visitors win the midfield battle which could decide the game.
