Brighton v Brentford live stream, Sunday 26 December, 8.00pm GMT
Brighton and Brentford are level on points ahead of their Boxing Day clash on the south coast, but the Seagulls are still desperate to end a long winless run.
Graham Potter’s side last tasted Premier League victory on 19 September and have failed to win in 11 matches since then, the longest top-flight winless run in the club’s history.
Brighton have continued to pick up points by drawing eight of those games, but a 1-0 defeat to Wolves in their last outing was a setback.
The two teams, who both had fixtures called off last weekend due to rising Covid-19 cases, are level on 20 points in mid-table.
But Brentford’s recent form has been more encouraging, with the Bees beating Watford 2-1 last time out and picking up seven points from their last four games.
Boss Thomas Franks’ pleas for a round of league and Carabao Cup action to be postponed to “break the chain” of rising cases around the division fell on deaf ears.
His team have not taken to the pitch since 10 December, as back-to-back fixtures against Manchester United and Southampton were postponed.
At least the league table makes for promising reading for the Bees. They are well on course to stay up, sitting nine points clear of the relegation zone, and victory here could take them as high as ninth.
Kick-off is at 8.00pm GMT on Sunday 26 December, and UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
