Player to watch – Joao Pedro
Brighton took a gamble on Joao Pedro in the summer after a lot of clubs had looked at the Brazilian forward over the last couple of season, and the gamble seems to have paid off.
The 22-year-old forward has scored eight goals in the Premier League this season and is back in the side following a two-month injury layoff.
Brighton's Brazilian forward returned from injury last weekend
Pedro heads into this weekend's match in good form having scored eight goals in his last nine appearances across all competitions, so keep your eye on the Brazilian at Turf Moor.
