Crystal Palace moderator Brighton & Hove Albion in the A23 Derby on Saturday afternoon when both sides want to restore disappointing results during the week.
The Eagles missed the opportunity to climb the table with the ground of the Southampton table during their frustrating 1-1 draw, and needed an obligation to compensate to avoid an embarrassing defeat on the south coast.
For Brighton, things were even worse when they were humble at home in the Aston Villa and lost 3-0 after the gates of the winter recruits of Unai Emery. The result harms its external hopes to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Palace used to win the meeting between the teams in the campaign, with Issamila Sarrs Klammer achieving a 3-1 win for the investment team and their first in this derby since February 2021.
