Crystal Palace vs Brighton, Championship Playoff Semi-Final 1st Leg: Open Thread

After yesterday’s 1-0 victory for Leicester City against Watford, the second set of Championship playoff semi-finals kicks off today with Crystal Palace hosting Brighton & Hove Albion. For viewers in the United States, the game kicks off at 2:45pm ET on beIN SPORT.

As discussed earlier this week on the EPL Talk Podcast, this match between Palace and Brighton will be a fierce one since it’s a huge southern rivalry, and both clubs fancy their chances of going all the way to getting promoted to the Premier League.

Crystal Palace starting XI: Speroni, Ward, Gabbidon, Delaney, Moxey, Jedinak, Dikgacoi, Zaha, Garvan, Williams, Murray.

Brighton starting XI: Kuszczak; Calderon, Greer, Upson, Bridge; Bridcutt, David, Hammond; Buckley, Ulloa, Orlandi.
