In a mid-table clash in the Premier League, ninth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion invite 12th-placed Crystal Palace to the Falmer Stadium on Friday.
The home side are unbeaten in their last three league outings and emerged as the winners against Everton in a five-goal thriller earlier this month. They continued their unbeaten run in the FA Cup as well, beating West Bromwich Albion 2-1 last week.
Crystal Palace also recorded a 2-1 win in their FA Cup third-round fixture last week but faced a 3-2 defeat at the hands of West Ham United in their first league game of the year.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Crystal Palace's away form is a cause for concern at the moment as they have just one win on their travels this season. Without key players - Wilfred Zaha, Cheikhou Kouyate and Jordan Ayew - their performance is expected to be impacted here.
Brighton have three wins in their last four outings across all competitions, as many as in their previous 20 games, so they have found themselves in a good run of form.
Although Brighton have not enjoyed a great run in their recent encounters with the visitors, their current form makes them the favorites to capture the three points here.
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Crystal Palace
