Brighton v Palace team news: Olise + Eze start, Lamptey benched

Double Gameweek 22 gets underway this evening as Brighton and Hove Albion play host to Crystal Palace in the M23 derby.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Graham Potter makes two changes from his team’s 3-2 win at Everton, with Pascal Gross and Jakub Moder coming in for Enock Mwepu (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (international duty).

That means Tariq Lamptey has to settle for a place on the bench, with Joel Veltman preferred at right-back.

Jeremy Sarmiento (hamstring) and Lewis Dunk (knee) miss out completely, although Dunk could be back for Brighton’s second Gameweek 22 match against Chelsea on Tuesday.

Crystal Palace, who have lost their last three league matches on the road without scoring, make four changes from Double Gameweek 21, as Jack Butland, Conor Gallagher, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise replace Vicente Guaita, Luka Milivojevic, Jordan Ayew and Christian Benteke.

Notably, Eze makes his first league start of the season, whilst Olise is handed an opportunity to shine from the off, having been directly involved in five Premier League goals as a substitute this season, scoring two and assisting three.

Wilfried Zaha, Cheikhou Kouyate and Ayew are all on international duty, whilst James Tomkins and James McArthur are both sidelined through injury.


DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Webster, Burn, Cucurella, Gross, Lallana, Moder, Mac Allister, Trossard, Maupay

Subs: Scherpen, Lamptey, Alzate, Welbeck, March, Caicedo, Roberts, Leonard, Ferguson

Crystal Palace XI: Butland, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Hughes, Schlupp, Gallagher, Olise, Eze, Edouard

Subs: Guaita, Milivojevic, Mateta, Clyne, Benteke, Kelly, Ferguson, Riedewald, Rak-Saki

          That's Dawson. Antonio's knock is fresh from the Nor game.

    LoLbert Sanchez

  10. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I’m hoping for the reverse of that as my rival has him. Got a feeling the request might be refused.

    1. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Reply fail. Intended for Spud

  11. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Looks Great right now that I decided to start Gallagher over Bernardo even though most people in Said otherwise.

  12. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    If you cant finish your breakfast you ultimately pay for it

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      eh but even if you finish your breakfast you still pay for it? ....hmm...thats a headscratcher

  13. lilmessipran

    Gallagher top 10k eo?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      3%

  14. Jones Kusi

    Is Arsenal off?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing confirmed yet but more than likely going to be off.

      1. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure about that. The reasons for the request are not just covid and not sure how they’ll view that

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          PL have set the precedent already though. Would be very surprised if they U-turned on it now.

          1. Old Bull
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            It’s a bit different because one of the three reasons being cited is players missing through Afcon. The other two being injuries and covid. Should think it really depends on how many are out with covid.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          See the most recent Leicester postponement with one Covid case

          1. Old Bull
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            It was reported as covid cases so I’d be surprised by that

        3. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed. If the suspension of Xhaka put them over the limit, that’s tough luck. Can’t use that as a reason

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Decision will be made tomorrow

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Decision tomorrow, expect it to be off.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Find out tomorrow. Not worth worrying about, can't change it.

    3. Bobby Digital

    1. EL tridente
      • 6 Years

      You get Gallagher in for Son, so that’s Great!

      1. EL tridente
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry missed Gray haha

      2. Ze_Austin

      Dawson ahead of Gray and Gallagher rip

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Dawson has a knock (as well as Antonio). They could get lucky.

        1. DMP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

    Absolute free hit failure 3 Brighton

    1. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Me too. Sanchez, Cucurella and Lamptey.

  18. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Gallagher to Maddison 3 gws ago has not gone well

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gallagher to Foden here

  19. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Oh FFS not a Gallagher 10 pointer! Rival 20 points behind me has him and Maupay C, 14 points already!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maupay goal chalked off earlier. Some managers have all the luck...

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I saw that, clear though

  20. jblakes
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine if you were a Brighton fan. Brilliant football but my god the strikers are league one standard

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Easily a Top 8 team if they had a decent forward imo

      1. jblakes
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, they need to get a striker. Maupay is dreadful

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Don’t jinx it! My rival has captained him

          FFS

  21. Hooky
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Brighton flattering to deceive and Lallana going off injured. Everything is back to normal in the world again.

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It's not though, mate

  22. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Are Burnley realistically going to finish all 38 games this season?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, playing their remaining 9 games in the summer to creep into the Top 4

    2. Hooky
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Of course. Even if they play every 2 days Dyche will still play 4-4-2 and have the same 11 every game.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Not now he’s sold Wood

        1. Hooky
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Barnes will replace him as soon as he's fit. Same, same but different

  23. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Seen so many of these 0-1 games where you feel for the home side

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It’s happened so many times now I don’t feel for them anymore

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I dont just mean them i just hate it when a team wins totally undeserved in terms of offering any quality

  24. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    So many teams need another striker this January...
