The M23 Derby in the Premier League brings us Crystal Palace vs. Brighton this afternoon with both sides looking to move towards the top four and FPL players hoping Ismaila Sarr can transfer his explosive European performances into domestic football.
Palace had a bit of a wobble after their long unbeaten run ended in early October but Oliver Glasner's side are now on a new three-game winning run across all competitions, which included another win over Liverpool and an impressive league victory over Brentford last weekend.
Brighton have been their somewhat typical up and down selves this season and have struggled on the road with a late win at 10-man Chelsea their only victory. There has also been three losses and they have a poor recent record at Selhurst Park.
Can either side push towards the top four with a win in one of the games of the weekend? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips, predictions and odds.
Crystal Palace vs. Brighton preview: Who will win?
This should be a cracking game with both sides brimming with attacking talent (only Liverpool and Arsenal have a higher xG than Palace) and always keen to have a go.
It has similarities with Palace's recent chaotic home clash with Bournemouth which ended 3-3 in probably the game of the season so far.
We can only hope for a repeat but Palace's home form and Brighton's away day blues (10 conceded in five matches) might just tip this in the favour of the hosts.

Crystal Palace vs. Brighton Score Prediction
The Eagles haven't lost at home in the league since way back in February, and we think they'll win the battle of the birds against the Seagulls.
Both teams to score here seems a near-banker but Palace will get the three points. Ismaila Sarr is due a goal after three scoreless games in the Premier League - he scored twice against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Brighton (9/1 with Bet365)
