Bournemouth – Brighton

Bournemouth host Brighton in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides. The Cherries sit 15th with three points from four games, having failed to win yet but keeping their goal difference respectable at minus one (6‑7). Brighton, meanwhile, sit 63th with four points, their lone victory coming with a clean sheet and a +4 goal difference (4‑0). The two teams have yet to meet this season, and the encounter could see Bournemouth try to convert their string of draws into a first win, while Brighton look to extend their unbeaten run and climb out of the relegation zone.
