Looking at the stats we seem to have a poor record against them and from memory, I don't remember too many successes over the years. We have our mojo back and they seem to be having a minor blip, with goals drying up. They are a good side but the loss of Forestieri is a big blow for them. Four points was needed from these two games and after the draw at Preston, we must win this. If we slip up and Burnley win, we will need at least 8 points to overtake them and that is going to be a big ask over ten games.

Another tough game for the Seagulls. But SW are failing to score and our defence has been solid, so nicking a goal just might be enough. I'm predicting 1-0 to the Albion.

We don't have the greatest records against this lot but if there was ever a time we look likely to break that streak, surely it's today? Best squad we've had in years, on home turf and in good form versus an out-of-sorts lot that are missing a couple of key personnel.

2-1.

One grumble about the preview video (unobtrusive music is a massive plus though) if I may... lots of text about a goalscorer over footage of said goalscorer scoring goals, is very annoying. Sorry to be blunt.

We're now going to lose tonight. 2-0.
