Brighton v Crystal Palace – what the stats say

Brighton are winless in their last seven Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace (D5 L2), with the last three all finishing 1-1. It's their longest ever winless run against the Eagles in their league history.

Crystal Palace have lost just one of their five Premier League away games against Brighton (W2 D2), a 3-1 loss in December 2018.

Brighton haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 10 Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace, though they've also failed to score in just one of those 10 games.

Each of the first eight Premier League goals scored in meetings between Crystal Palace and Brighton were netted in the first half. Since then, just four of the 18 goals scored in this fixture have been in the opening 45 minutes.

Having won just three of their first eight home Premier League games this season (D2 L3), Brighton have since won three of their last four at the Amex (L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory.

Crystal Palace have won just two of their last 14 Premier League away games (D5 L7), and are yet to win on the road in the league in 2023 (D1 L3). Indeed, no side has fewer away points in the Premier League this year so far than the Eagles (1, level with Everton and Leeds United).

Crystal Palace have become the first team on record (since 2003-04) to fail to register a single shot on target in three consecutive Premier League games. Overall, the Eagles have failed to have a shot on target in five different Premier League matches this season – since 2003-04, only West Bromwich Albion (7 in 2015-16) have failed to do so more times in a single campaign in the top-flight.

Crystal Palace remain without a Premier League win in 2023, drawing five and losing five of their 10 games this year. It's the Eagles' longest run without a league victory since a streak of 14 between December 2015 and April 2016 under Alan Pardew.

Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister has scored seven goals in 21 Premier League games this season, more than he had in his previous 63 appearances in the competition (6). The Argentinian is looking to score in three consecutive Premier League matches for the first time.

Against no side has Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha scored more goals in his club career in all competitions than against Brighton (8, level with Leicester). Zaha has scored a penalty in both of his last two Premier League appearances against the Seagulls; only against Leicester (Feb 2019) and Wolves (Oct 2022) has he ever found the net in three consecutive appearances against an opponent in the top-flight.
