Both Brighton and Southampton are happily nestled in mid-table safety, and that would surely have been the aim for both at the start of the season. 

There's only one point between them, and both have been frustratingly inconsistent of late — although Brighton probably have the upper hand in terms of form, having beaten both Arsenal and Tottenham. Southampton also beat Arsenal last weekend, but then again they lost 6-0 to Chelsea not long ago, so this one is hard to call. 

With neither side in danger of relegation and with no hope of European qualification, there's only points and pride to play for — which should make it an open, entertaining game. 

Here's how they line up:

Brighton: Sánchez, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Trossard, Mwepu, Mac Allister, Caicedo, Cucurella, WElbeck, Maupay

Southampton: Forrester, Livramento, Bednarek, Salisu, Walker-Peters, Tella, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond, Adams, Long

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to NBCSN, Peacock or another service and watch the game.
