After appearing virtually safe after beating Arsenal, successive defeats have restored the element of doubt to Brighton. Their run-in looks brutal after this match against Huddersfield, who are three points and three places below them, and anything but a return to their most convincing home form may set nerves jangling again. Chris Hughton has said the pressure is on but he will be aware Huddersfield, who now look in serious trouble and have a similarly tough end to the season, have not scored in their past four games.
