Brighton Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 3-4-1-2

Southampton Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Brighton have never beaten Southampton in the Premier League and given the Saints' good start to the season the Seagulls are outsiders for this match too. Southampton have a good chance to keep step with the top five and they need to take it.

Brighton have not beaten Southampton since the Seagulls' Premier League promotion in 2017.
