Southampton – Brighton is a six-pointer in the Premier League on Sunday (starting time 8 p.m. ET on Peacock Premium) as a delicious derby on the south coast has a lot going for it.
The Saints are still in sadder Form but have some injured players back. Ralph Hasenhuttl has rested many players for the 2: 5 defeat in Manchester City in the middle of the week and clearly prioritizes this clash against the seagulls. The Saints are seven points above the relegation zone and know that a win here would go a long way towards ending all nagging relegation fears.
Brighton has played very well all season but cannot convert the chances and is due to the Goal difference only eliminated from relegation after taking a lead on a defeat against Leicester at home. Graham Potter’s squad is so good to look at, but they continue to make big defensive mistakes and need Neal Maupay and Co. to improve their chances. It really is as simple as Fulham breathes down their necks.
