Hit for four goals in their respective outings in the Premier League, both Crystal Palace and Brighton make a foray into today’s clash looking to stabilise sorties which have been largely stuttering till now. Neither side has been really able to establish itself in the 2020-21 season with both teams tottering their way to a string of defeats.
After winning their opening couple of matches, Crystal Palace have gone onto register two defeats on the bounce. And the most damaging came the last time around with the side horrendous against Chelsea, a team which was thoroughly outshone in every department of the game in an appalling 4-0 rout.
Elsewhere, Brighton have managed to fare off even more abjectly. Their apathy in defence has been a plight which has persistently bogged the side down, a calamitous backline which saw them being hit out of the park by Everton who put four past their tame defence.

Goal-Keeper
Vincent Guaita has only risen in stature as his stay in the Premier League has extended. He’s been a solid player for Crystal Palace, a name who has not only taken over the mantle of the goal-keeping docket but has upped the ante with tenacious displays in every outing.

The Crystal Palace fullback has made a massive breakthrough into his club’s playing 11, someone who has been hailed for his ability to maraud his way into both the attacking and defensive sorites.

Solly March has had a telling impact on his side’s attack, gripping performances which have been awarded with the one goal and assist. CDM Yves Bissouma showed that he’s not only a fine defensive brain but a player who has a scorcher of a shot in him as he scored a peach of a goal against Everton.
