• Ismaila Sarr scored two in Thursday's 3-1 Conference League win over AZ Alkmaar 

• Brighton's only league away win this season came against 10-man Chelsea in September

• Recommended bet: Crystal Palace to win

Sparks tend to fly when Crystal Palace take on Brighton and three players were sent off in Palace's 2-1 home win over the Seagulls in April.

Eagles forward Eddie Nketiah and centre-back Marc Guehi were shown red cards, along with Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, and another feisty clash is expected in south-east London on Sunday.

Palace did the double over their rivals last season and Brighton suffered a disappointing 4-2 defeat at Manchester United in their last Premier League away fixture.

Prediction

Crystal Palace fans enjoyed 3-1 and 2-1 Premier League victories over Brighton last season and the Eagles should be backed to extend that winning run on Sunday.

Oliver Glasner's men have had a memorable 2025, winning the FA Cup and embarking on a first European campaign, and they have won their last three games in all competitions.

A 3-0 Carabao Cup victory at Liverpool was followed by a 2-0 league win over in-form Brentford last weekend before Palace beat AZ Alkmaar 3-1 at Selhurst Park on Thursday.

AZ were rated as one of the main threats to the Eagles in the Conference League outright market and Palace can kick on with a home win over Brighton.

Their only defeats this season were all by a one-goal margin. Everton's Jack Grealish scored a fortunate injury-time winner at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, AEK Larnaca claimed a smash-and-grab 1-0 victory in the Conference League and there was no shame in last month's 1-0 loss at leaders Arsenal.

Brighton's performances are far less consistent. Their only away league win came at Chelsea, who were in control of the game before Trevoh Chalobah was sent off early in the second half.

Fabian Hurzeler's men beat poor travellers Leeds 3-0 at the Amex Stadium last weekend but they have lost at Everton, Bournemouth and Manchester United on the road this season.

Their other away result in the league was a 1-1 draw at bottom club Wolves, who were pegged back by Jan Paul van Hecke's 86th-minute equaliser for the Seagulls.

Palace boss Glasner has his first-choice back three of Guehi, Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards available while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr are top-class attacking threats for the Eagles.
