• In the opening Premier League rounds, Brighton have collected three points and scored seven goals in two matches, placing eighth in the table.

Form and Line-up Brighton
Brighton have impressed at home, thrashing Aston Villa 4:0 in the opening Premier League round and beating Tromso by the same score in European competition. However, their trip to Chelsea ended in a 3:4 defeat, with the team conceding three goals by the 32nd minute. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler noted the high intensity of a spell with matches every three days.

• In 9 of Brighton's last 10 Premier League home games, their opponents have scored no more than one goal.
• At least three offsides have been recorded in 9 of Brighton's last 10 Premier League home matches.
