The hosts will try to snatch as many points as possible as the spot for the top seven spots in England’s top flight remains close. The likes of Newcastle, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Aston Villa are competing alongside Brighton to reach either the Champions League, Europa League, or Europa Conference League.
However, Brighton & Hove Albion are coming back to the Falmer’s Stadium on the back of the absolute clobbering they suffered at the hands of Newcastle last weekend at St. James’ Park. The Seagulls fell 4-1 to the Magpies, putting the Black-and-Whites one point away from securing a Champions League spot. Brighton had 66% ball possession and made eight total shots, but they were not able to capitalize on their chances. Deniz Undav got a goal and an own-goal in that match, while Dan Burn, Callum Wilson, and Bruno Guimaraes secured the goals for the Magpies.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side will try to build momentum as their European aspirations remain alive for now. They are currently in sixth place in the league, tied with Aston Villa for 58 points and ahead of Tottenham and Brentford. They trail Liverpool by eight points. The Seagulls have kept a competitive record against the Saints, winning twice in their last four face-offs, while the other two ended in draws.
De Zerbi will still have to manage a long injury list. Solly March, Adam Lallana, Jakub Moder, Jeremy Sarmiento, and Tariq Lamptey are out. Joel Veltman and Adam Webster appear to be doubts in this match. Brighton hopes that they can add another win to their 9-3-5 home record, the ninth-best away record in the Prem where they have also scored 33 goals.
Evan Ferguson, Kaoru Mitoma, and Julio Enciso will serve as attackers while Alexis Mac Allister will be joined by Pascal Gross and Billy Gilmour in the midfield. Lewis Dunk partners with Levi Colwill as the starting center-backs while Pervis Estupinan and Moises Caicedo will add quality offense as creative fullbacks.
After an eleven-year stint in the top flight, which included a finish as EFL Carabao Cup runners-up in 2017, the Saints were relegated this year. Southampton’s spot in the Prem, along with two others, will be replaced by Burnley, Sheffield United, and either Luton Town or Coventry.
