Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Brighton and Bournemouth.
The Seagulls were victorious in their latest showdown against Manchester United, while the Cherries played a goalless draw with Chelsea.
The two sides are set to face each other in the Premier League Matchday 6 on Sunday, September 24, 2023. Both teams will be hoping to have a successful match at Falmer Stadium, though Merson backs Roberto de Zerbi's side to be the winners this time.
"Brighton need to be consistent with their starting XI and retain their new-found standards if they are to continue to cement their status as one of the most exciting teams in the Premier League. They aren't playing under severe pressure at the moment, but soon enough, there will come a point where people expect them to win games," the pundit said on Sportskeeda.
"They beat Manchester United last weekend, but if they'd lost, we wouldn't have heard a dicky bird about it. Very soon, I expect that to change, as Brighton are slowly getting to that stage where the weight of expectation is increasing."
Paul Merson's prediction: Brighton 3 - 0 Bournemouth
