MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Steve Wilson: Neil Warnock's 100th game in charge of Cardiff City theoretically gives him the chance to celebrate with a win.
Warnock will not get too many such opportunities. Cardiff's squad overachieved hugely to get promoted, and their total summer spending to add to that group was not much more than Fulham invested in Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa alone. Five points from 11 games is the unsurprising result.
Brighton continue to grow as a club and are starting to look like part of the Premier League's furniture, so much so that it's easy to forget they have only had five top-flight seasons in their entire history.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock on marking 100 games with the club: "You see what happened at Leicester and with Glenn (Hoddle), who I think is a fantastic guy, and it brings it home to you that life is on a thread,
"It's been one of the happiest times of my life. Having thought about retiring two or three times, I'm really glad that I didn't.
"I do feel better for doing what I've done here and I don't think my job's finished yet. But I think another 100 games might be difficult."
Chris Hughton: "We've got a crucial period of games coming up - but the Premier League is such a tough league that it always applies.
"We know we're more likely to pick points up off sides outside of the top six but we have to capitalise on that ourselves.
"They will have good backing this weekend and it will be another tough game."
