Know The Opposition

Brighton & Hove Albion (nicknamed The Seagulls and Albion) are a professional football club based in Brighton & Hove. The club was first formed as Brighton & Hove United on 24 June 1901, and the name was quickly changed to Brighton & Hove Albion. The club took the place of a defunct club, Brighton & Hove Rover, in the Southern League In the Southern League they won their only national honour to date, the FA Charity Shield, by defeating Football League Champions Aston Villa in 1910. There had previously been Old Brightonians, representing the area in the FA Cup in the 19th Century. The club initially played at the Hove County Ground, with a few games were also at Goldstone Ground that was used by Hove F.C. From 1902 onwards, Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. and Hove F.C. shared the Gladstone Ground. In 1920, 19 years after the club was formed, they were elected to the Football League's new Third Division.

Mismanagement brought Brighton close to relegation from the Football League to the Conference which they narrowly avoided in 1997 and 1998. A boardroom takeover saved Brighton from liquidation, and following successive promotions they returned to the second tier of English football in 2002, from then on playing in the second and third tiers of English football until the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, where the club earned promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history, marking the end of a 34-year absence from the top flight. Bighton's fans consider Crystal Palace to be their biggest rival with matches between them termed the M23 derby, and they play their home games at Falmer Stadium.

Sancho certainly should not be in the 11

LawCharltonBest · Apr 20, 2023

No Maguire

Samid · Apr 20, 2023

You know things are bad when the admin for the first time in match day history lets you predict a bigger score than 5:0.

AndySmith1990 · Apr 20, 2023

They are going to batter us

zaafi · Apr 20, 2023

12-0 Brighton

United492 · Apr 20, 2023

At the moment, I fear they'll rip us to pieces

PoTMS · Apr 20, 2023

We're not winning this :lol:

I can't wait for the season to end.

cyberman · Apr 20, 2023

People shitting on Bruno can see what a difference he makes to us now.
He, Shaw and Marcus back should see a good game on Sunday.
feck knows the score. Brighton miss a lot of chances but we have DDG in goal.

Todd · Apr 20, 2023

There's no potential combination of 11 players who are fit for this that we could create that will result in a win. They are gonna run us off the pitch.

I've never been more confident of an impending loss as I am of this one. We just don't have the proper players available.

BerryBerryShrew · Apr 20, 2023

If we can win an FA Cup and secure top 4, tonight will be a distant memory. But Brighton could hockey us at the weekend. Sevilla are shite and they showed us up. Brighton are classy operators. I'm worried lads.

Siorac · Apr 20, 2023

A freebie. This game doesn't matter at all. We aren't winning this trophy so whatever happens on Sunday is irrelevant. Avoid injuries.

SB16 · Apr 20, 2023

Genuine possibility of Brighton hitting double digits on Sunday

abailey123 · Apr 20, 2023

No doubt that’s Martial done for the season!

De Gea

AWB
Casemiro
Lindelof
Shaw

Bruno
Eriksen

Antony
Sabitzer
Rashford

Weghorst

I genuinely wouldn’t have Sancho anywhere near the 11, all he’s looking for is a 5 yard pass time and time again.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Apr 20, 2023

Brighton have more of a chance at stopping City's treble. They are also the reason we were in the Europa League and not the Conference League in the first place.

Just leave it to the proper club to do it.

JinnerJamie · Apr 20, 2023

I might throw my phone into the Humber and become a monk in Tibet instead of suffering the massacre that's coming our way in this.

SuperiorXI · Apr 20, 2023

No chance we win this. I've no hope.

Telsim · Apr 20, 2023

All I can say.

Neither should DDG.

Rockets Redglare · Apr 20, 2023

At least we won’t be humiliated in the final by City.

Zoo · Apr 20, 2023

Should get a reaction just for confidence but Brighton are a serious outfit. More sophisticated than Sevilla. We’ll get taken apart by City in the final if we do go through.

RedRocket9908 · Apr 20, 2023

De Gea should be dropped after tonights performance, I would play Butland instead on Sunday

jamesjimmybyrondean · Apr 20, 2023

It's better we lose here than suffer the most humiliating final in our history

Mickeza · Apr 20, 2023

I think the neutrals will enjoy this one. I don’t think we will though.

Ayoba · Apr 20, 2023

Guy's be positive please. If we lose to Brighton we won't be twatted by City in a final.

BELEIVE!!

Castia · Apr 20, 2023

We look finished with the defence in bits

If Brighton show up we’re in trouble

pascell · Apr 20, 2023

2-0 to Brighton and it'll flatter us.

hobbers · Apr 20, 2023

6-0 win for Brighton, well played in advance.

Offside · Apr 20, 2023

Won’t be watching. Don’t want to see Maguire’s face again.

Your lucky day, he's suspended

Roboc7 · Apr 20, 2023

I expect them to brush us aside, they’ve probably got a better chance of beating City in the final anyway.

FerociousCorgis · Apr 20, 2023

if martial is out, obviously he is, and rashford can start just put him up top. Starting with WW up top is just worthless. We have options to go with on the wings at least, give pellistri a shot of something meaningful. try something new. We go with the same crap as before nothing will change.

KiD MoYeS · Apr 20, 2023

Not overly optimistic but we do tend to bounce back from defeats well this season.

ElectroManiac · Apr 20, 2023

Thank feck Maguire is suspended for this

Solius · Apr 20, 2023

Not exaggerating due to the result tonight as I’ve thought this all week, but I genuinely hope we just keep the score down. I really think we’ll lose quite comfortably.

Chairman Steve · Apr 20, 2023

At least Maguire won’t be there to hand them a goal and they’ll be forced to have to work for it.

It’s kinda hard to get excited for a game when you’re blitzed with so many injuries.

CM · Apr 20, 2023

I was a bit fearful about this game even before tonight. I genuinely can't see us winning it now. Is Shaw even fit to fill in at CB?

James35 · Apr 20, 2023

It’s my birthday on Sunday and I’m 100% convinced this team will shit all over it.

Brighton score and create, our defenders and De Gea after that showing will just be a huge bag of nerves. Martial injured and the potential of being back to Weghorst up top just makes me feel ill.

Brighton will win comfortably 3-0 or 3-1
