LONDON (Reuters) - One of English football's most bitter rivalries gets its first Premier League experience on Tuesday as supporters of Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace continue to argue about the source of the tension.

The clubs are separated by 44 miles but share a mutual supporter hostility that does not characterise either Palace's relations with nearer London opponents or Brighton's dealings with teams like Southampton, who are almost as geographically close to the south-coast club.
