This could be a historic day in the history of Brighton and Hove Albion. They begin this game sixth in the table and a win over bottom placed Southampton will qualify them for European competition next season. That will be the first time ever for this south coast club. Tottenham losing and Aston Villa only drawing on Saturday was brilliant news for the Seagulls. They are ahead of seventh placed Aston Villa on goal difference and a point clear of Tottenham in eighth. Both their rivals have only one game to play while Brighton have three to play. A Brighton win therefore will see them in at least the Europa Conference League. The Europa League looks more likely though as their goal difference is far better than that of Villa. After this match, Brighton host Manchester City before their final game that is away at Aston Villa. Their most recent match saw them lose 4-1 at Newastle but that followed a 3-0 win at Arsenal. Two heavy losses in their last three matches have masked a run of three wins and three clean sheets in five. Four of Brighton's last five matches have produced over 3.5 goals. In their last home match in the league,

Southampton are coming into this game on the back of a poor run, which culminated in their relegation. The Saints will not be able to finish higher than they are – at the bottom of the league standings. They come into this game without a win in 11 matches. The final nail to their Premier League status when losing 2-0 at home to Fulham. They will face Liverpool in their final game of the season. Coming into this one, they have four straight losses and in these defeats they have conceded two or more in three. Twice in the last five matches, Southampton have failed to score and four of their last five have produced over 3.5 goals. In the last four meetings between these two sides, Southampton haven't won a game.
