Brighton and Fulham are playing out what, at the moment, looks like a battle for the Europa League and Europa Conference League, with the two sides in sixth and seventh respectively.
The home side have performed excellently this season under Roberto De Zerbi joined in September, beating the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool since the Italian took over. Fulham have done similar, and are making headway up the league after being promoted at the start of the campaign.
One not to miss, they both play exciting and attacking football, with plenty of attacking quality on display as Solly March and Willian are both hitting top form currently.
Roberto De Zerbi has named the following Brighton starting 11: (4-2-3-1) Robert Sanchez; Joel Veltman, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk (captain), Pervis Estupinan; Pascal Gross, Moises Caicedo; Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister, Kaoru Mitoma; Evan Ferguson
Marco Silva has suffered a big blow with the loss of Aleksandar Mitrovic to a minor injury. He's selected the following Fulham starting 11: (4-2-3-1) Bernd Leno; Kenny Tete, Issa Diop, Tim Ream (captain), Antonee Robinson; Harrison Reed, Joao Palhinha; Bobby Decordova-Reid, Andreas Pereira, Harry Wilson; Willian

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there.For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS5 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
