Palace Preview: Eagles welcome Brighton up the A23

This Monday (16th December) at 19:45, the season's first installment of Crystal Palace v Brighton & Hove Albion will play out at Selhurst Park.

The historic rivalry has seen Palace struggle over the last two matches since an iconic 3-2 victory at Selhurst Park over the visiting Seagulls.

That day, five goals in the game’s opening 35 minutes saw the Eagles hold on to a tight lead thanks to a Wilfried Zaha brace and James Tomkins effort in-between the Ivorian’s double.

The win - which came in mid-April - signified a landmark moment in Palace’s turnaround in fortune under Roy Hodgson, who rescued the club from relegation after taking the reins in September 2017.
