Sunderland vs Brighton
Winner : Brighton
Sunderland come into this one struggling a little. They've lost more games than they've won recently, including a heavy defeat just a few weeks ago, though they did pick up a good win on the road and a draw in between. Brighton have also had a mixed run - they were thumped heavily in their last game, but before that they put five past their opponents in a big away win. Both teams have had some lopsided scorelines lately, so this one could swing either way.
The two sides met not long ago and it was tight - a draw and a narrow Brighton win, and both of those games had very few goals. That suggests a close contest again. Given Brighton's slightly better form and their recent edge in this fixture, they look the more likely side to come out on top, though a draw is just as possible. Either way, it looks like a tight, low-scoring affair.
