    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
     
    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.

    We're not winning this :lol:

    I can't wait for the season to end.
     
    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.
     
    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.
     
    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.
     
    A freebie. This game doesn't matter at all. We aren't winning this trophy so whatever happens on Sunday is irrelevant. Avoid injuries.
     
    Genuine possibility of Brighton hitting double digits on Sunday
     
    No doubt that’s Martial done for the season!

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

    BELEIVE!!
     
    We look finished with the defence in bits

    If Brighton show up we’re in trouble
     
    6-0 win for Brighton, well played in advance.
     
    Won’t be watching. Don’t want to see Maguire’s face again.
     
    I expect them to brush us aside, they’ve probably got a better chance of beating City in the final anyway.
     
    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.
     
    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.
     
    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.
     
    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?
     
    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
