Both teams have enjoyed a decent campaign so far in the Premier League with Roy Hodgson's men in 10th place, while Graham Potter's Albion are just three points behind in 12th.

Palace's success this season has been built on solid foundations at the back. They have shipped just 18 so far with only Liverpool, Leicester and Sheffield United conceding fewer.

Brighton meanwhile have changed their tactics this season and play a more attacking style. They have scored 20 times this so far, which is six more than Palace but they have leaked 24.

This looks set to be another highly-charged and highly competitive "M23 derby."

Last season

Brighton did the double over Crystal Palace last season. In December they won 3-1 at the Amex Stadium thanks to first half strikes from Glenn Murray, Leon Balogun and Florin Andone. Luka Milivojevic netted a late consolation from the penalty spot.

Albion were also victorious at Selhurst Park three months later. Murray and Milivojevic were once again on target from the spot before Anthony Knockaert netted a cracking winner with 15 minutes remaining.
