Hide AdThe Seagulls sit fifth in the Premier League table, two places below the Whites – the sides each have seven points, but Jesse Marsch’s side have a marginally better goal difference.
The Sussex side have enjoyed a strong start to the season, conceding just one goal so far in a 2-1 opening day victory over Manchester United.
Last week, Brighton beat West Ham United 2-0 before claiming a 3-0 Carabao Cup victory over Forest Green Rovers midweek.
