It's difficult to get excited about Crystal Palace considering they have scored just ten goals this season, but Brighton's victory at Huddersfield on Saturday owed much to an early red card for the Terriers.

This is usually a feisty encounter between two clubs whose fans dislike each other with a passion but the tension in the stands could be more exciting than the football served up at the Amex.

A low-scoring game is anticipated and that increases the chances of a draw.
