Match preview
With Sean Dyche at the helm, Nottingham's game has come to life: the team is unbeaten in five consecutive matches, conceding just three goals and claiming three straight wins—against Leeds (3-1) and Liverpool (3-0) in the Premier League, as well as a commanding victory over Malmö (3-0) in the Europa League. After 12 rounds of the English Premier League, the team has collected 12 points and sits 16th in the table.
Against Brighton, the home side will likely try to play tighter and more pragmatically, aiming to block the center and catch their opponents on fast transitions. Nottingham are adept at creating chances through vertical attacks, but they often lose compactness, which leads to dangerous moments at their own end.
Brighton are also putting in strong performances: despite defeats to Manchester United (2-4) and Arsenal (0-2), they’ve picked up five wins in their last ten outings and currently sit sixth in the league with 19 points. Fabian Gürtzel’s side displays consistent defensive organization and is highly effective in attack.
The visitors, as usual, will look to dominate possession: long spells on the ball, active use of the flanks, and constant movement between the lines. However, this approach carries risks—Brighton often leave space behind their defenders and allow opponents to launch dangerous counterattacks.
Probable lineups
Nottingham: Victor; Savona, Milenkovic, Morato, Williams; Yates, Sangare; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Kalimuendo
Brighton: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Gomez; Welbeck
