Brighton 'hoping for Crystal Palace clash to be postponed as it clashes due to the rail strikes on September 17... with authorities concerned how away fans will be able to return home after the match'

Brighton's home clash with fierce rivals Crystal Palace next weekend is reportedly in doubt because of the train strike that is set to cause travel chaos.

The Premier League encounter between the two sides is due to be held at the Amex at 3pm on Saturday, September 17 - the same day that around 40,000 rail workers will walk out as part of the long-running dispute over pay and conditions.

According to The Athletic, Brighton are hoping the match will be postponed and the early indications are they will get their wish.
