    Our prediction

    • Brighton to win and keep a clean sheet · Win and both teams to score – no

      Emil points out that Sunderland will have to manage without Brian Brobbey, who was injured early in the international break. With the team's biggest attacking threat absent, he considers a Brighton win combined with a clean sheet an interesting option at odds of 4.14.
