Brighton and Hove Albion look to get back into winning ways after two league draws in a row. They are 13th in the table and host Sheffield United who begin the weekend in seventh. A win for Brighton though will take them to within two points of their opponents. Brighton have only won one of their last six league games, a 2-1 victory at Arsenal. Their season could go both ways because they are only six points off the Europa League place but just five above the relegation zone. Home form has been a bit inconsistent this season but only Leicester City have beaten them in their last five at the Amex. Five of their home league matches this season have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.

Sheffield United certainly weren't expected to be seventh in the Premier League as we approach the festive season, especially after losing four times at home. United are only four points behind the final Champions League place and come into this game having won their last two fixtures. That's a welcome return to form after a slight dip that had seen the Blades go four league games without a victory. They are yet to lose an away league game this season and the only other team to do that this season is league leaders Liverpool.  Only two games have been won though with six drawn. There haven't been many goals scored though with 17 in eight games and four of those were in the 2-2 draw at Chelsea. A bet on under 2.5 goals being scored is the suggested wager for this match.
