Brighton look to move top of the Premier League

 

Monday Night Football tops the bill today as Brighton look to move top of the Premier League with a victory at their bitter rivals Crystal Palace.

As well as looking ahead to a big night for the Seagulls, our weekly golf column picks the bones out of a record defeat for Europe in the Ryder Cup.

Brighton were often described as the Premier League’s unluckiest side last term but fortunes have certainly turned for Graham Potter’s men early in 2021-22.

Having previously gained a reputation for dominating games and not taking their chances, the Seagulls have flipped the formbook in recent weeks by developing an unlikely ruthless streak.

What is more, weekend slip-ups from Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool mean they could end Matchday 6 at the top of the table should they leave South London with three points tonight.

They will not be given an easy ride by Crystal Palace however, in a contest that is affectionately known as the M23 derby due to a long-running rivalry between the two clubs.

Ahead of this evening’s clash, we take a closer look at how the high-flying visitors have managed to find a cutting edge this campaign.
