Selhurst Squeeze
The M23 derby could be on a knife-edge with Palace always struggling for goals but coming off the back of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
Monday Night Football features a derby which puzzles the majority, but that doesn’t make it any less keenly felt for the clubs involved.
Brighton had the better of last season’s clashes but they trail Palace by three points as they head to Selhurst Park. We’ve spoken pretty highly about both these sides lately, and I’d rather dodge predicting the result and back under 1.5 goals in the match at best odds of 11/5 with Bet365.
Eagles’ home games are the tightest in the Premier League. Hodgson’s boys have only scored 6 times in front of their own fans (rank 19th) but have only conceded 7 (rank T2), having faced Liverpool, Mancheser City and Leicester already at Selhurst.
Odds correct at time of publishing: 10:22 16th Dec, 2019 but subject to change
