Latest Crystal Palace vs Brighton team news
Crystal Palace are concerned about the fitness of star player Ismaila Sarr, who had to leave the pitch after 65 minutes in the match against AZ Alkmaar due to a hamstring problem.
Central defender Chadi Riad is struggling to recover from a serious knee injury and was unable to feature in the recent victory. Additionally, Palace are still without striker Eddie Nketiah due to a hamstring injury sustained at the end of October, while Cheick Doucoure is still recovering from a knee injury and has yet to play a game this season.
On the other side, manager Fabian Hurzeler confirmed that defender Joel Veltman will return to the Brighton squad after recovering from a calf injury. He also hopes that Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma will be available on Sunday after a period out with a foot injury.
However, the bad news is that former England international James Milner (muscle injury) and Brajan Gruda (knee) will still be sidelined for the trip to Selhurst Park.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Brighton football match prediction
After a four-match winless streak between October 5th and 29th, Crystal Palace rediscovered their form with a run of three consecutive wins, the latest coming against a Dutch representative in the Conference League on Thursday evening.
Following the AEK Larnaca disaster last month in South London, the "Eagles" quickly redeemed themselves with their second victory in the European group stage. A brilliant brace from Ismaila Sarr and a goal from Maxence Lacroix helped Palace convincingly defeat AZ Alkmaar.
Oliver Glasner's side are now aiming for four consecutive wins across all competitions – something they haven't achieved since the beginning of March. After 10 Premier League matches, Crystal Palace sit ninth, just three points behind second-placed Manchester City, indicating a tense race to catch up with league leaders Arsenal.
Alongside Arsenal, Bournemouth, Sunderland, and this weekend's opponents Brighton, Palace is one of five teams that remain unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season. However, they have only managed two wins in five matches at Selhurst Park.
The key player in Palace's hopes of finishing in the top half of the table for the second time in 11 years is Jean-Philippe Mateta. The French striker is in brilliant form with 6 Premier League goals – only behind Erling Haaland of Man City (13 goals).
After two hard-fought away defeats against Manchester United at Old Trafford and Arsenal at Emirates, Brighton – who are hoping to qualify for European competition – extended their unbeaten home run in the South of England to five matches with a resounding victory over Leeds United last weekend.
Danny Welbeck – who recently missed out on a call-up to the England squad – scored the opening goal, before South American winger Diego Gomez scored a brace in the second half, continuing his impressive form from the start of the season in the League Cup.
Thanks to their resounding victory over Leeds, Brighton have climbed to 10th place in the Premier League table ahead of the M23 derby against Crystal Palace in South London, just one point and one place behind their rivals, while Palace will certainly want to maintain this gap.
However, Brighton's away form this season hasn't been very consistent. Of their 15 points, only 4 have come away from home, and their only win in their last three away games was a lackluster draw against Wolverhampton. Nevertheless, Hurzeler's side are no strangers to winning in the capital – evidenced by their 3-1 victory over Chelsea in September.
Between September 2021 and February 2024, Brighton enjoyed a six-match unbeaten run against Crystal Palace (two wins, four draws). However, in the 2024-2025 season, Palace successfully avenged that with two consecutive victories, with Mateta and Daniel Munoz scoring the goals that secured three points at Selhurst Park in April.
