EPL: Brighton v Southampton preview


Brighton v Southampton preview

Brighton will look to extend their unbeaten run to three matches when they face Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.


The Seagulls will have home advantage for the clash and Chris Hughton's men head into the game with plenty of confidence.

A draw against Everton and a win over West Ham has seen Brighton climb to 12th in the league table but they could kick on once again this weekend.

Hughton will be boosted by the return of striker Tomer Hemed who is back after serving his suspension, but he may start on the bench with Glenn Murray in form.

Brighton's Steve Sidwell remains a long-term absentee with a back injury and Hughton may stick with the same starting XI that beat the Hammers.

Sunday's game promises to be a close affair with the Saints also unbeaten in their last two matches. Last weekend's win over West Brom moved them into 10th but they will be without midfielder Mario Lemina.

He is suffering with an ankle injury and will be joined on the sidelines with Jeremy Pied.

Winger Sofiane Boufal produced an impressive display off the bench last week and he will be hoping to start at the AMEX Stadium.

Brighton won the most recent meeting at home in January 2012 but that was only their second win in the last 13 meetings in all competitions.
