Brighton vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Confirmed team news and Premier League commentary

Brighton vs Crystal Palace
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Amex Stadium, Brighton
Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT

Brighton and Crystal Palace meet in the M23 derby for the 100th time tonight with both teams coming into the game off the back of morale-boosting wins.

Chris Hughton & Co. find themselves in 11th place as they welcome their fierce rivals to the coast, Palace six points further back in 14th.

The same fixture last season, also played on a Tuesday night, was a drab 0-0 draw, with both fans no doubt hoping for more entertaining 12 months on.
