WLDLDL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Manchester City in Premier League competition, Brighton and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Brighton & Hove Albion managed 35% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Manchester City had 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Kevin De Bruyne (17'), Phil Foden (26', 34') and Julián Álvarez (62') scored for Manchester City.

The strike force from Brighton have failed to get amongst the goals in their past 6 encounters, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, The Seagulls have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 6. Having said that, we must now wait to see if that trend shall be maintained in this next match.

📰 Team News: Bournemouth

We are thinking that The Cherries could employ a 4-2-3-1 system, handing starts to Mark Travers, Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Marcos Senesi, Lloyd Kelly, Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook, Antoine Semenyo, Philip Billing, Dango Ouattara and Dominic Solanke.

ℹ️ Team News: Brighton

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jack Hinshelwood (Foot surgery), Solly March (Knee injury) and Kaoru Mitoma (Back injury) are not ready for selection.

There’s a good chance that The Seagulls seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Bart Verbruggen, Joel Veltman, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Valentin Barco, Pascal Gross, Carlos Baleba, Simon Adingra, Facundo Buonanotte, Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck.
