Prediction: 2-1
Brighton & Hove Albion
Despite taking the lead in Saturday's football match against Bournemouth, Stoke City eventually suffered a 2-1 loss to Eddie Howe's troops. The Potters, though, have been showing signs of improvement of late and a win over Brighton will see them escape the relegation zone. Stoke City are tough to beat at home and we believe that the time has come for the Potters to get back on course. The Seagulls defeated West Ham 3-1 at the weekend, but it has to be noted that the Hammers were without several first-team regulars. Brighton are not regarded as good travelers and we predict that they are going to return home empty-handed. Xherdan Shaqiri found the net in the 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. When the two teams met at Bet365 Stadium in the FA Cup seven years ago Stoke recorded a 3-0 win over Brighton.

Highlighted Player (Joe Allen):
Joe Allen is another high-quality footballer from the new generation of Wales internationals, who was part of the team that took Swansea from League One to the Premier League, and he had no problems adapting to arguably the strongest league championship in Europe. Allen operated as a deep-lying playmaker as the Swans impressed upon reaching the elite division, with his excellent passing skills persuading Liverpool to splash £15 million on his services. The central midfielder didn’t exactly manage to develop into an indispensable member of the side at Anfield, but he is considered an important squad player and has always performed well when called upon. Meanwhile, he has been one of the pillars of the most successful team in the Wales history together with Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams and Aaron Ramsey, while even representing Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Allen started five games for the Dragons as they secured the first ever appearance at the European Championship finals.
