Brighton host Watford in the Premier League tonight with both sides looking to make it two wins from two to start the new season.

Newly-promoted Watford caught the eye with their performance in the 3-2 win over Aston Villa last weekend, with Emmanuel Dennis, Cucho Hernandez and the impressive Ismaila Sarr on the scoresheet.

Brighton also got off to the perfect start as they came from a goal down to defeat Burnley at Turf Moor, with Graham Potter’s substitutes proving key in the 2-1 win.

The Seagulls are aiming to push on in the Premier League this year after finishing 15th last season. In order to do that, Potter’s side will have to improve on their home record at the Amex Stadium. Brighton won just four matches at their home ground last campaign - but are on a run of five games without a defeat at the Amex.
