Brighton has a golden chance to steer clear of any relegation woes this week when they welcome Brighton home. The match schedules for Monday evening at Falmer Stadium with kickoff at 11 pm.
The Seagulls begin their weekend seven points above the relegation zone after an improved run of form. On the other hand, Palace dropped to 14th position courtesy of two successive defeats.
Graham Potter proved most of the supporters wrong last weekend after fielding a strong starting XI at the Amex Stadium last weekend. Following a six-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, the Seagulls shook off any relegation woes. It gives the side a reason to believe they can fight for a mid-table spot.
Finding the back of the net has been a significant issue for the Seagulls, who were left frustrated after a dominant display against Aston Villa ended in a goalless draw. However, the side boasts of an incredible defensive record conceding only one goal since January 16. It is a record the side will be looking to extend as they face off against an injury-plagued Palace side.
Even though Roy Hogdson sits ten points clear of the bottom three, it remains a significant hassle to fight off relegation battles amid an injury crisis. The London side has failed to lay a glove on either Leeds United or Burnley.
