The last meeting between the two teams ended with Brighton & Hove Albion winning 2-0.

The Fan Zone

Joe Sayers (Albion Obsessed): Last weekend was what Brighton & Hove Albion are all about under Fabian Hürzeler, staying in the game and rallying from behind to stun one of the big six yet again.

But its our form against teams lower down the table that strikes fear into fans. Weve had this problem for a while now, under different managers too. We clearly have an us against the world mentality when the odds are against us, but when were expected to turn up and perform it rarely happens.

Im glad its not a home game this weekend, as I definitely fancy us more away from home. We had a positive result away to Wolves last season, so I hope we turn the corner and start matching results from last season.

Not many wouldve expected us to come away from Spurs and Chelsea with four points, so weve built a fantastic platform to use to propel our season forwards from now.

We have seen proof now that we can perform much better than what weve shown so far this season, so its imperative that we show we can do that consistently over a 90 minute period.

Lets do what we know we can do best and get three points ahead of yet ANOTHER (groan) international break!

Prediction: 0-3
