    BRIGHTON v WATFORD

    Amex Community Stadium
    Saturday 2nd February 2019
    Kick Off 1500 GMT


    Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Watford to the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and Chris Hughton’s side will be hoping to react in positive fashion after Tuesday’s defeat in London.

    The Seagulls raced into a 2-0 lead against Fulham at Craven Cottage, but four second-half goals turned the game on its head and extended Albion’s search for a league win to four matches.

    Watford’s six-game unbeaten run came to an end on Wednesday evening, as two late goals from Tottenham Hotspur overturned their 1-0 lead at Wembley Stadium.

    Albion recorded a narrow 1-0 victory over the Hornets when they visited the Amex in 2017, with Pascal Gross firing the winning goal in front of the North Stand after the break.

    Brighton Team News

    Hughton confirmed that Alireza Jahanbakhsh is back from the Asian Cup and will train on Friday, as he comes back into contention for the Seagulls.

    Bernardo has already returned to training, but a decision will be made on the fitness of the Brazilian, while Jose Izquierdo (knee) remains sidelined through injury.

    Watford Team News

    Tom Cleverley was withdrawn just after the hour mark at Wembley Stadium after feeling the effects of what Gracia said was “a very demanding first half”. It was only his second Premier League start in a year.

    “We will take a decision on Tom,” said Gracia. “Maybe it will be tough for him to play more minutes, but in two or three days he will be ready.”

    The game on the south coast will come too soon in the recovery process of Abdoulaye Doucouré. The French midfielder is still working his way back from the knee injury he sustained at Crystal Palace.

    Gracia confirmed Christian Kabasele was fit and available for the game against Tottenham. “He is ready,” said Gracia.

    Not yet ready are Kiko Femenía (hamstring) and Sebastian Prödl (knee).

    The Last Match between the teams

    Albion made the short trip to Vicarage Road on the opening day of the season, but Hughton’s side found themselves behind after 35 minutes, when Roberto Pereyra volleyed home from the edge of the penalty area.

    The Argentinian fired his second goal of the game after the break, as he cut inside off the left wing and curled a shot past Maty Ryan, and despite Albion’s efforts to get back into the game, it ended in defeat.
    He has started all 24 Premier League matches for Watford this season, scoring six goals and claiming two assists along the way.
    His form in England’s top flight has sprung him back into Argentina’s national side — Pereyra made three appearances across October and November, and scored his first senior goal against Iran.

    At this time of year you can wear both, and change them round when you find out what they are wearing.

    From BBC:

    Brighton 0-0 Watford

    I'm going early with this but Etienne Capoue has just played the pass of the day. Driven, outside of the boot, swerving from the left wing to the right wing, straight on to Will Hughes' chest 50 yards+ away.

    Brilliant.
