Brighton and Southampton are set to face each other in a highly anticipated Premier League clash on Sunday at the American Express Community Stadium. This match will hold significant importance for both teams as it marks a vital point of their seasons.
The Seagulls head into the game aiming to get back to winning ways after their midweek defeat at the hands of Newcastle, which was a massive setback for them.
