Brighton are enjoying an impressive season themselves under Graham Potter, and it promises to be a fantastic game at the Amex Stadium.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas is predicting a tight game, and he is struggling to pick a winner from Saturday's clash.

Speaking in his predictions column, he said: "Graham Potter has come in at Brighton and what he has done has been excellent - I have to applaud it wholeheartedly because I was looking at them for one of the three to go down.

"Liverpool have been the best, followed by Leicester, and then honestly I could say Brighton are there, especially the most improved. It has been a change of style with authority and cleverness on the ball, as if they train to play that way every day. They are vulnerable at the back but are very attack-minded. Neal Maupay is now capable of getting goals, so I do not see them in trouble at all and it always comes across as though this is what he is encouraging.

"Sheffield United are very organised and well-drilled, as we know. I love the midfield runners like John Fleck, but he is suspended and he is a big heartbeat in that team. They are still unbeaten away from home, and the passion and drive they have will be difficult for Brighton to handle.

"CHARLIE PREDICTS: 1-1."
