The Seagulls will be hoping they can put an end to their dreadful winless run when beleaguered Norwich visit this weekend. Graham Potter's men have lost their last six Premier League games in a row and are searching for their first league win since February 12.

The relegation-threatened Canaries, meanwhile, are also enduring a torrid spell. They too have suffered six consecutive losses in the Premier League, and it has been over two months since Norwich last tasted victory in the league.
