Match Preview:

Crystal Palace have found form at the right time and come into this game with 33 points and are 8 points ahead of the bottom three. They secured an impressive 3-1 victory over Burnley in their last game and have lost just one match in their last five.

There is one worry for The Eagles though which is they are one of the rare teams who perform better on the road than at home. From their total haul of 33 points they have only won 13 at home. Their last victory here came at the beginning of February.

Brighton have been in free fall since the turn of the year and are 3 points behind Palace. There is a chance that they could still be sucked into the relegation dog fight and need a couple of more wins to feel safe.

They did get a massive victory over bottom club Huddersfield last weekend which they won 1-0. The victory was needed as the club could not buy a win before that game. Their away form has been very poor though where they have gained just 1 point from their last 15 and have lost 10 of their 14 games away from home.
