Albion’s recent form against the Saints has been patchy. Albion look to get back into the top half of the Premier League as they face Southampton at the Amex. Adam Webster is restored to start at the centre of defence and Moses Caicedo makes his hone debut in midfield.

Get a report of the Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Southampton 2021-22 English Premier League football match.

Ward-Prowse single-handedly dragged Southampton back into the game late in the first half, whipping a trademark free-kick through the Brighton wall and past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after Cucurella had fouled Nathan Tella. Brighton made a lightning start and led with two minutes on the clock through Danny Welbeck, who tapped into an empty net after visiting goalkeeper Fraser Forster fumbled Marc Cucurella's low cross into the box. Oriol Romeu backheeled a ball into the path of Ward-Prowse around 10 minutes into the second period, and the midfielder fired straight into the far corner to bring Southampton level.

James Ward-Prowse scored twice as Southampton came back from two goals down and an injury to Tino Livramento to draw 2-2 at Brighton.

“It was clear they are a little bit struggling mentally and we tried to use this fact and absolutely deserved the equaliser.” Forster superbly denied Welbeck his second from close range before Brighton doubled their advantage in the 44th minute. “It’s super tough for every goalkeeper in the moment; they don’t know what is coming up.” “There is not much more to climb than we had first half. Today we showed a very, very good reaction and it definitely helped that we made it 2-1 before half-time with a beautiful free-kick.” “We saw a very intense game; a very, very horrible start for us with the goal after two minutes, a chance for an equaliser that hits the post, a very, very bad injury and a second goal where we kick it in our own goal,” the manager said.

Brighton boss Graham Potter makes three changes from the side that lost at Manchester City as he continues to search for a winning formula at the Amex.

Neal Maupay returns to the side and Adam Webster makes his first start in two months. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has refreshed the team after Thursday's disappointing defeat at Burnley. He makes six changes, with recalls for Shane Long and Che Adams up front, Nathan Redmond and Nathan Tella in midfield and Mohammed Salisu and Tino Livramento reinstated at the back.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League clash between Brighton and Southampton at the Amex Stadium.

Anthony Dabbundo gives his detailed thoughts, plus his top pick, for Sunday's Premier League match between Brighton and Southampton.

Although I’m not one to look to play Brighton as the favorite, it’s the better side. Southampton went through a similar pattern to its season last year, with an excellent middle portion that ended with the club running out of gas. The Saints will also want to disrupt the Seagulls’ ball-progression patterns and focus on speeding them into mistakes. Brighton then traveled north to play Manchester City to a tie for the first half before running out of gas in a 3-0 defeat. The biggest question has come when the Seagulls are favored and being asked to break down a lower block with incisive attacking play. They have a ton of excellent, technical players with the ball at their feet and don’t get easily overwhelmed by teams who attempt to press them.

Brighton have turned a corner in the Premier League. They did lose to City but should be able to win this game." Their next opportunity to do so is this afternoon against a Southampton side struggling for form, with just one win in their last seven games in all competitions.
