Brighton will go the heady heights of second in the table with a win after a superb start to the season. Fabian Hurzeler's high-pressing machine are seeking a third win in a row after back-to-back 2-1 victories over Manchester City and Bournemouth in which the returning center-forward Joao Pedro has excelled since recovering from injury. Unbeaten in six league games at the Amex this season, the Seagulls have European qualification in their sights.
Southampton need a win for vastly different reasons. The Saints have lost 10 of their 12 outings after winning promotion back into the Premier League, but head coach Russell Martin refuses to be swayed that his possession-hungry system is the way to go. To be fair to him, the Saints led top-of-the-table Liverpool with less than half an hour to go last weekend, Mateus Fernandes again impressing, and only a series of individual defensive errors prevented his side from picking up points. They have tasted defeat just once in their last six trips to East Sussex.
