Brighton v Southampton: match preview

Brighton v Southampton
Brighton v Southampton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Brighton may not look they have a great deal to play for as the season winds down but history is on the horizon for Graham Potter’s side. They sit 10th and will be keen to finish strongly to eclipse the club’s best top-flight finish of 13th. Southampton can leapfrog them into 11th with a win and even Aston Villa down in 15th are only four points behind with two games in hand. Potter will be confident of avoiding defeat, though, as Southampton rolled over limply at Burnley on Thursday. Graham Searles
