EPL: Brighton v Crystal Palace preview

Brighton v Crystal Palace preview
Brighton will look to extend their unbeaten home run to six matches when they face Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening.
The Seagulls are currently eight points and 11 places ahead of their opponents as they head into a derby match which has been a rivalry for decades, despite 42 miles separating the two clubs.
Palace have had the upper hand in recent meetings, with Brighton winning just one of their last seven fixtures. The Eagles won the last meeting - a Championship play-off match - 2-0 at the Amex Stadium in 2013.
Chris Hughton has a decision to make in midfield, with the manager expected to choose between Solly March - who started at Manchester United on Saturday - or recall Jose Izquierdo. The home side also have Beram Kayal back available after being an unused substitute at Old Trafford on his return from a broken leg.
Meanwhile, Palace have no fresh injury concerns following their 2-1 win over Stoke and could name an unchanged side. Christian Benteke is hoping for a recall having come off the bench against the Potters.
Roy Hodgson's men have lost all six away league games this season and failed to score on the road so far and they are the only Premier League club not to have kept a clean sheet this season.
