Brighton will host Brentford in the first of two Friday night Premier League fixtures at the Amex Stadium on the south coast.
Brighton, managed by Fabian Hurzeler, started the season well but have experienced a dip in form recently, remaining winless in five games. However, the tight nature of the league means they are not far from climbing up the table with a couple of victories.
On the other hand, Brentford has struggled away from home but has exceeded expectations following Ivan Toney’s departure. They suffered their first home defeat of the season last weekend and have slipped to 12th place in the table.
Both teams will be looking to improve their form, with Brighton hoping to bounce back and Brentford aiming to secure better results on the road.
Stay tuned for 90min’s preview of the upcoming Premier League clash between Brighton and Brentford.
