5 bold Premier League predictions: Arsenal beat Manchester City, Burnley win
3. Glenn Murray helps Brighton to victory over Swansea
Brighton had a tough start to the season but they’ve really found their stride in the Premier League in recent matches. In their last three, they’ve taken seven points and Glenn Murray has helped the Seagulls gain those with three goals.
Murray has had a bit of a journeyman career but he’s proven to be a reliable goalscorer for Brighton. He got into the side only after suspension to Tomer Hemed, but the 34-year-old has been a big difference maker for Chris Hughton since then. Hemed is available again following his suspension, but Murray deserves to start against Swansea.
Paul Clement’s side are struggling once again, and are above the relegation zone only on goal difference. Clement did an excellent job for the Swans after taking over in the middle of last season, but after losing Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente in the summer, his side have struggled for goals, and are in real danger of going down.
A win for Brighton would elevate them to the top half of the table, and Murray is going to be the man to lead them to all three points.
