Sheffield United have been relegated back to the Championship. They are bottom of the table and host Brighton who are in 16th and seven points above the bottom three. United had a poor end to last season and that continued into this term. They've been looking likely to go down almost from day one to be fair. Now their relegation has been confirmed, it'll be interesting to see how they get on. It's not uncommon for sides to suddenly find some form and get some wins, so low stakes are an idea here. They have lost nine of their last ten league games with the other being a 1-0 home win over Aston Villa. Three of their last four home league fixtures have seen them fail to score with four of the last five lost. Overall, ten of their 16 Premier League home games have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them.

Brighton are nearly safe but not quite. They drew 0-0 at Chelsea on Tuesday, another valuable point for them. That was their second goaless draw in a row but each point takes them closer to another season in the Premier League. Brighton can go ten points clear of 18th placed Fulham (not playing again this month) with a win here. With Fulham earning just one point from their last five league games, it'll take a lot to see the Seagulls go down. It's not been a great season but there have been some memorable moments, including a win at Anfield. Only one of their last five away fixtures have been won, a 2-1 win at Southampton. That's the only time in their last eight league games that they have scored more than once on their travels. Six of the last eight have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Go for that stat to come up in this match.
