Brighton and Watford will look to build upon their good starts to the new Premier League season when they meet at the Amex Stadium today.

The hosts came from behind to beat Burnley at Turf Moor last weekend thanks to second-half strikes from Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister.

Watford were also victorious on their first match back in the top flight following promotion from the Championship last season. New signing Emmanuel Dennis opened the scoring and Ismaila Sarr impressed as the Hornets secured a 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

Hornets manager Xisco Munoz will be looking to improve his side’s away form in the Premier League after they won just twice on the road during their last campaign in the top flight in 2019/20.
