An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 18th place.
- Brighton & Hove Albion has the most dropped points from leading position (12) in Premier League
- Fulham have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Brighton & Hove Albion have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from their games here at The American Express Community Stadium.

The last victory here came in the Chelsea match.
Brighton's previous game was a FA Cup match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Blackpool. The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Leeds United and winning 1-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
