Player to watch – Joao Pedro

Joao Pedro has been one of Brighton's top performers this season which is even more impressive when you consider that it's his debut campaign with the Seagulls.

Brighton's Brazilian has impressed this season

The Brazilian has been suffering from a hamstring injury but if he does make his return to the Brighton side this weekend, we'd back him to score against Sheff Utd's leaky defence.
