Brighton vs Crystal Palace live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, team news

It's an important match for both teams, especially as there's no love lost between their supporters. You can watch a Brighton vs Crystal Palace live stream from anywhere with a VPN.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Van Hecke, Dunk, Igor, Hinshelwood, Gross, Gilmour, Lamptey, Buonanotte, Joao Pedro; Ferguson.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Munoz, Richards, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Lerma, Hughes, Schlupp, Mateta, Ayew.

This is not your typical rivalry. Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace are not based in the same city. In fact, their stadiums are more than 40 miles apart. Yet a few hostile meetings in the 1970s have turned this into the fixture that Brighton and Palace fans want to win most. Do not underestimate the mutual antipathy.

Palace fired Patrick Vieira after he oversaw a 1-0 defeat by Brighton last March. The same fate could befall under-pressure Roy Hodgson if the result goes against him.

This game will present a clash of styles. Only Man City have averaged more possession than Brighton this season, while Hodgson's Palace are not overly concerned with controlling the ball, so his team will play on the counter-attack.
