• Recommended bet: Bournemouth to win

Bournemouth and Brighton went into the international break on highs after memorable Premier League wins and will be seeking to follow up by starting September in style.

The Cherries were buoyant after their excellent 1-0 win at Tottenham while Brighton came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1.

Team news

James Hill is pencilled in to start at right-back for Bournemouth with Adam Smith set to miss out after being injured in the 1-0 win at Spurs.

Ryan Christie is back from injury to challenge Alex Scott for a midfield role. Justin Kluivert may also get his first league start of the season with Marcus Tavernier making way.

Matts Wieffer should have overcome a knock to line up at right-back for Albion. Adam Webster and Solly March are out while boss Fabian Hurzeler hopes Yankuba Minteh's knock picked up with Gambia is nothing troublesome.

Prediction

Brighton did the double over Bournemouth last season and will be buoyed by those memories, yet it is Andoni Iraola's side who can land the odds.

The Cherries have started the season fabulously, unluckily losing 4-2 at champions Liverpool on the opening night before bouncing back with a pair of 1-0 wins over Wolves and Tottenham.

And it will be those clean sheets as much as the six points which will have delighted Iraola, who continues to find players and a system to get the maximum out of their talent.

Much the same has been said about Brighton, who may lack the box-office stars from the big clubs but as a team continue to produce great results.

They had only one point on the board going into their last game at home to Manchester City and would have feared the worst when they went a goal down.

But City were there for the taking, Brighton sensed it and dramatically turned the game around to register a brilliant 2-1 win.

These are two good, under-rated clubs who finished in the top 10 last season and are more than capable of repeating the feat.

Bournemouth, right now, have the edge in the table and are taken to pip Albion in what should be a very watchable encounter.
