Kick-off: 1215 BST
Channel: Sky Sports 2
This is a local derby for the two clubs and it promises to be a good one. Brighton are currently playing above expectation and are sitting on top of the Npower League 1 table. Bournemouth are just four points behind them in third. Brighton are currently on a 7 game unbeaten streak in the league, while Bournemouth come into this game on the back of a 2-0 loss to Southampton
Bournemouth defender Ryan Garry is a major doubt after missing training all week with flu.
Striker Jayden Stockley (hamstring) is definitely out, while defender Adam Smith is serving a one-match ban.
Brighton striker Glenn Murray should keep his place in the side after shrugging off a hip injury.
Defender Adam El-Abd has completed a one-match ban and is available, while winger Kazenga LuaLua could return to the starting line-up.
I am going along to this game, and I am really looking forward to it. I have only been to three Brighton games, and they have won all three. I hope LuaLua plays today, because he is brilliant in im opinion. And if he grabs a goal, just watch the celebration
Prediction
Brighton 2 - 1 Bournemouth
