Opta stats
Brighton have kept just one clean sheet in their seven Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace (W2 D3 L2), with that coming in a goalless draw in their first such meeting in November 2017.
Crystal Palace have won three of their last six away league games against Brighton (D1 L2), as many as they had in their previous 35 such visits (D10 L22).
Brighton have never won a Premier League game on a Monday (D6 L2) - only Hull City (10) have played more games on this day of the week without ever winning in the competition's history.
Crystal Palace are without a win in each of their last nine Premier League games played on a Monday (D2 L7), since beating Arsenal in April 2017 (3-0).
Brighton and Hove Albion (W3 D3) have gone unbeaten in six consecutive top-flight games for the first time since a run of eight ending in November 1981. The Seagulls have kept as many clean sheets in this current six-game run (5) as they did in their previous 25 Premier League matches.
Crystal Palace have lost 18 of their last 20 Premier League games in which Wilfried Zaha hasn't played, with the Eagles failing to score in 16 of those 18 defeats.
Crystal Palace have failed to score in a higher share of their away games in the Premier League this season (58% - 7 of 12) than they have in any other campaign in the competition's history.
Brighton have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three home Premier League games - they have never registered four home shutouts in a row in the top-flight.
Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha has scored more goals in all competitions against Brighton than he has versus any other opponent in his English club career (7) - however, the Eagles could be without him owing to injury.
Robert Sánchez has kept a clean sheet in 46% of his 13 Premier League games for Brighton (6 of 13), while former goalkeeper Mat Ryan registered just two shutouts in 11 PL games for the Seagulls this term (18%).
Got to love Roy Hodgson. He's 73 years old & still going strong. Absolute GOAT.
