Southampton v Brighton prediction and team news: Who will win Premier League game?
Our predictions for Southampton v Brighton in the Premier League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Brighton travel to Southampton on Boxing Day, with Roberto De Zerbi's men hoping to build on their league position of seventh.
The Seagulls have impressed this season – under Graham Potter and De Zerbi – and they've found themselves clinging onto the big six.
Brighton, who crashed out of the Carabao Cup in the week against Charlton, are level on points with Potter's Chelsea and they're just four points off Manchester United in fifth.
Nathan Jones is taking charge of his third competitive game at Southampton and it'll be his first Premier League home fixture.
The Saints lost at Liverpool before the World Cup before beating Lincoln in the Carabao Cup last time out.
Southampton are 19th in the league and Jones knows they need to turn their form around as soon as possible.
