THE LOWDOWN
BRIGHTON
- Consecutive defeats without scoring a goal for Brighton since their 3-3 draw against Liverpool at Anfield leaves new boss Roberto De Zerbi still without victory since taking over from Graham Potter.
- De Zerbi has confirmed that midfielder Adam Lallana will play for the hosts and it would be no surprise to see him deployed in the middle of the park alongside the highly rated Moises Caicedo.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- Nottingham Forest’s top flight misery continued at the weekend as a 1-0 loss vs Wolves made eight Premier League fixtures without a win for the newly promoted side, with six of those ending in defeat.
- A muscle injury renders right-back Serge Aurier a doubt for this one, whilst midfielder Lewis O’Brien could also miss out through illness.
THE TEAM NEWS
BRIGHTON
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan; March, Lallana, Caicedo, Trossard; Gross, Welbeck
UNAVAILABLE: Mitoma (Injured), Moder (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Henderson; Williams, Cook, McKenna, Toffolo; Yates, Freuler, Kouyate; Johnson, Awoniyi, Lingard
UNAVAILABLE: Colback (Injured), Niakhate (Injured), Richards (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Aurier (Injured), O’Brien (Illness), Lodi (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Following that excellent draw away at Liverpool, two defeats since has built a little bit of pressure onto the Seagulls and a strong performance is needed from them. They should be afforded plenty of chances going forward against a defensively weak Nottingham Forest, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight Premier League games. Just as worrying for Steve Cooper’s side is their lack of potency going forward, scoring just one goal across their most recent three and when taking into account the quality Brighton possess within their team, the expectation is that De Zerbi will pick up his first victory as Albion manager here.
TIP: BRIGHTON TO WIN
