and live on Freeview channel 276
This season has thrown up some pretty unpredictable results so far, but of this weekend’s fixtures, the Whites’ visit to the American Community Express Stadium is probably among the toughest to call.
Tied on seven points after three games, both teams have made a stunning start to their Premier League campaign and are yet to lose a match.

Two pundits have forecast that Graham Potter’s side will come out on top with a 2-1 win.
Former Arsenal attacker Merson believes that if Brighton can take their chances, they’ll claim all three points.
“This should be a good Premier League game,” Merson writes for Sportskeeda.

“Brighton should have beaten Newcastle, and they got a good result against West Ham. If they've got their shooting boots on and take their chances, they should be able to win this game.”
Meanwhile, ex-Manchester United man Evra believes United’s dazzling win over Chelsea could go against them at the Amex.
"Brighton are on fire and I have to congratulate them and Danny Welbeck for the work they are doing,” Evra writes in the Metro.
"Leeds will be flying high, but they could still be celebrating their result against Chelsea and Brighton will be going for the win.”
