HEAD TO HEAD

These two teams played only nine matches against each other in the 21st century. Brighton recorded just one win, while Stoke won eight games in a row after that. However, they hadn't played a head to head match since their FA Cup clash in 2011, when Stoke easily defeated Brighton by 3:0.

BRIGHTON NEWS

Newly promoted Brighton started the season with only one goal - to avoid the relegation from Premier League. So far, they are performing well above the expectations, and they are nearer to the teams which will play in European competitions in the next season than the teams which are currently in the relegation zone. However, the season has just started, and they know that a winless streak in any part of the season can push them below the line. That's why is crucial for them to record wins against the teams which are below them on the table at the time, such as Stoke.
