Brighton were controversially denied a ‘stonewall’ penalty in the first-half of the clash with arch-rivals Crystal Palace this afternoon (Saturday). That's according to a former Crystal Palace forward and an ex-Brighton defender. Glenn Murray was at the thick of the action as he was called upon following a late injury to Florin Andone. After opening the scoring against his former club, the Brighton striker then appeared to be fouled twice by Palace defender Scott Dann in the penalty area before the break. Referee Craig Pawson missed the incident and the Eagles were lucky to escape, according to former Palace striker Clinton Morrison. “It’s a stonewall penalty. I’ve got my Palace head on but Scott Dann does it twice. Brighton are very unlucky," he said, speaking on Sky Sports. Dann appeared to pull Murray’s shirt and then bundle him over in the box as Brighton attacked from a corner. And fellow Sky Sports pundit, former Brighton defender Liam Rosenior, was in agreement with Morrison. He said: “I’m surprised the referee hasn’t given it. We’ve all been given the letter of the law as players. “It’s a pull of the shirt on Murray from Scott Dann initially. Then secondly he’s not even looking at the ball and grabs him pretty much around the neck. “I’m disappointed in the referee - Craig Pawson. I think he is a good referee, but he’s watching the ball, not the play. Crystal Palace have been let off there.” Pawson later awarded a penalty to Palace in the game, which Luka Milivojevic scored to draw the hosts level, before Anthony Knockaert won the game with a stunning strike on 74 minutes.

Palace and Brighton have been going at it for decades, and this weekend sees its latest installment. The two teams are separated by three points, with Palace in 13th and Brighton in 15th. The first meeting saw the Seagulls run away 3-1 winners at Amex in early December. This is a true six-pointer as both teams haven’t escaped the other teams below them in the relegation race. Brighton, the away team, are in a precarious position coming into this game. Tied with Burnley on points, they’re also 5 points away from Cardiff in 18th. It’s been a tough campaign for Chris Houghton’s men, especially on the road. They’ve collected only eight points all season on their travels, winning just two games. That’s fourth-worst among all teams, heading into a tough atmosphere this weekend in the form of Selhurst Park. A big performance is required to boost their survival hopes. Crystal Palace come into this game in fine form with just one loss in their last six games. Wilfried Zaha continues to be the star man for this team, helping Roy Hodgson in successfully keeping the team up. Palace own the sixth-best home record in the league, and are favorites to win three points in this game. Expect cards and intense action in this one.

Former Brighton defender Mark Lawrenson is predicting another "hectic" derby at Selhurst Park as his old side travel to face Crystal Palace tomorrow (Saturday). This will be the fourth meeting of the two sides in the Premier League, with one win for each side and a draw from the previous three clashes in the league since the beginning of last season. Brighton won the last clash 3-1 back in December at the Amex Stadium, while Palace won 3-2 in a frenetic derby clash at Selhurst Park last April. But the BBC pundit reckons it could be honours even when the two sides lock horns in south London tomorrow (Saturday). "Crystal Palace have had much better results on the road that they have done at Selhurst Park this season, where they have only won three out of 14 league games," Lawrenson said in his weekly predictions feature for the BBC website. "A lot of that is down to their preferred style of play - the Eagles can play on the break when they are away but at home they have got to force the issue more, and the opposition are the ones sitting back. "This game will be hectic because it is a derby, but it will probably follow that pattern too. "Brighton picked up their first league win of 2019 when they beat Huddersfield last week and I am pretty sure that, after finally winning, their manager Chris Hughton's main aim will be to avoid defeat. "The Seagulls are still in relegation trouble but, looking at the table, I think 36 points could be enough for safety. "That is two more wins for Brighton, and only one for Palace, but they might have to wait a bit longer to get it. "Brighton came out on top when these two met in December, despite playing for an hour with ten men, but I am going for a draw this time." Lawrenson has predicted a 1-1 draw.
