Crystal Palace v Brighton: match preview

Crystal Palace v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

Crystal Palace’s season was summed up nicely by their goalless draw with Watford in midweek. A third successive clean sheet but no end product of their own. Roy Hodgson’s side have the second-worst scoring record in the league and Brighton will look to take full advantage in the M23 derby. Palace are without four defenders and will need a fill-in at left back too. A win for Graham Potter’s side will draw them level with Palace in the table. Graham Searles
