Brighton & Hove Albion will play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at the Falmer Stadium on Sunday.
Wolves are currently on a 11-match unbeaten run in the Premier League with their last defeat coming in September at home to Chelsea. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men defeated West Ham United by two goals to none in their last time out in the league.
The Seagulls ended their three game losing streak during the midweek fixtures when they won 2-1 against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Graham Potter and his team will be looking to add to the win over the Gunners by ending Wolves’ unbeaten run.
