The M23 Derby will take center stage on Sunday as Crystal Palace and Brighton battle for three points in a Premier League matchday 11 fixture. The game will be played at Selhurst Park.
The home side will be looking to build on the 3-1 victory they registered over AZ Alkmaar at the same venue in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday. Jean-Philippe Mateta missed a 17th-minute penalty for the home side but Maxence Lacroix and Ismaila Sarr spared his blushes to give their side a 2-0 lead at the break. Sven Mijnans halved the deficit nine minutes into the second half but Sarr completed his brace three minutes later.
The Eagles will turn their focus to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them claim a 2-0 home win over Brentford.
Brighton, meanwhile, saw off Leeds United with a 3-0 home win last weekend. Danny Welbeck's 11th-minute strike put them ahead at the break while Diego Gomez scored a second-half brace.
The win left the Sea Gulls in 10th spot in the standings, having garnered 15 points from 10 games. Palace are one spot and one point above them in the table.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Prediction
Crystal Palace have the longest ongoing unbeaten home record in the EPL, having not lost any of their last 11 league games in front of their fans (six wins).
Brighton will be eyeing continental qualification and are three points off the top five. However, they are winless on their last six visits to this ground, drawing five games in this sequence.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
