Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United Prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion continue to be an inconsistent unit, despite playing some good football. They sit 16th in the league table, and talented manager Graham Potter will hope to ensure that the Seagulls are not dragged into a relegation battle.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, sit at the bottom of the league table and are yet to win a game. They have one point from 13 games, and the potential injury of key midfielder Sander Berge against Manchester United only adds to their woes.
The Seagulls are not in the best of form, but given Sheffield United's struggles this season, Potter's side might just edge past them.
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Sheffield United
