Bournemouth and Brighton meet at the Vitality Stadium in a clash of two of the Premier League's most impressive clubs.
Both sides finished in the top half last season, with the Seagulls finishing eighth and five points clear of the Cherries in ninth, and have started the season in good fashion despite the loss of key players in the summer window.
Andoni Iraola's side were very unlucky not to get a result at Anfield on the opening night but have since beaten Wolves and Spurs. Their performance in North London was particularly impressive and bodes well for the season.
Brighton arguably topped that for result of the early season with their comeback win over Manchester City last time out, which gave them the three points their opening two displays had deserved.
