Improving Brighton will look to keep up their momentum in this all-south coast clash at St. Mary's against rock-bottom Southampton.  The visitors have bounced back well from their 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Nottingham Forest at the start of the month with back-to-back wins at home against Chelsea in the FA Cup and in the English Premier League.

Brighton still have one eye on potential European qualification at the end of the season with Fabian Hurzeler's team currently 11th in the Premier League table. The Seagulls sealed a 3-0 league win over Chelsea last time out and they have lost just one of their last six EPL games away from home ahead of today's battle.
