If last season is anything to go by, then Crystal Palace hosting Brighton in the English Premier League promises to be a feisty occasion.
One of football’s newest derby’s has somewhat grown in stature and intensity, with the last meeting providing three red cards.
The hosts are unbeaten in 11 home English Premier League matches, although they have only picked up two wins and three draws this season at Selhurst Park.
A comfortable win over Brentford last time out took them up to eighth place, and a convincing 3-0 win at Liverpool last week took them into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Visiting Brighton have enjoyed a strong opening 10 matches, and sit only one point and place behind the hosts.
The Seagulls have only picked up four points on the road, with losses coming against Everton, Bournemouth, and most recently Manchester United.
The hosts have won the last two meetings, whilst Brighton haven’t won at Selhurst Park since 2019.
