Crystal Palace has been solid at home, but they need to start finding consistency in their performances if they are to avoid being pulled into the relegation battle. Brighton, who has impressed many this season under Hurzeler Fabian, will aim to secure all three points to keep their European ambitions alive.

Both teams like to play attacking football, and with plenty of talent on the field, this match could be full of goals and end-to-end action. The creativity of players like Eberechi Eze for Palace and the flair of Kaoru Mitoma for Brighton will be key in deciding the outcome.

West Ham vs Bournemouth – 5:00 PM

At the London Stadium, West Ham United faces Bournemouth in a vital match for both sides.
