Brighton preview: In great form and hoping for more

With four wins in the last six Premier League rounds, as well as three wins in a row in all competitions which includes their FA Cup win over Chelsea, Brighton have clearly found their best form just in time for the season's exciting finish. Considering they're just four points behind Man City in fourth place, the Seagulls have reasons to feel optimistic about making it to Europe once again.

Brighton will have to manage without Jason Steele, Lewis Dunk, Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu, and James Milner in this match.

Bournemouth preview: Just one point behind the champions

With 43 points from 26 games, Bournemouth are having one of their best seasons ever and they currently sit in sixth place in the standings, just one point behind Man City in fourth. While this also tells us a lot about City's season, Bournemouth have been impressive so far and recently they've won three of their last five league matches, although they did lose twice in their last three.

Meanwhile, Marcos Senesi, Adam Smith, Enes Unal, and Julian Araujo are out with injuries, while Illia Zabarnyi is suspended after being sent off against Wolves last time around.

Predicted lineup: Arrizabalaga (GK) Hill, Cook, Huijsen, Kerkez, Adams, Christie, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo & Ouattara

Player to watch: Kaoru Mitoma

With seven goals in the Premier League this season, Mitoma has been Brighton's top scorer in the league, although their offensive stats are more equally distributed compared to some other teams.

That being said, the Japanese winger has been impressive lately, scoring in Brighton's last three matches in a row, including the FA Cup against Chelsea which they've won.
