With no wins since September, alarm bells would typically be ringing at any Premier League club - but Graham Potter's Seagulls have continued to deliver enough draws to satisfy a steady mid-table hold.
They could really do with a victory, however, and they'll hope that they can notch one up against their visitors to make it truly a season of goodwill.
Predicted Brighton starting XI: Sanchez; Lamptey, Veltman, Duffy, Cucurella; Gross, Bissouma, Moder; March, Maupay, Trossard.

Having fallen at the latest hurdle in the Carabao Cup against Chelsea in midweek, the Bees will hope to bounce straight back with their trip towards the English Channel.
Thomas Frank is likely to keep faith with much of the side that went toe-to-toe with the Blues for three-quarters of their clash, as they hope to add a little bit of stocking filler to their festive haul.
Predicted Brentford starting XI: Fernandez; Pinnock, Jansson, Sorensen; Canos, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Henry; Toney, Mbeumo.
