The Seagulls will be in rest and recovery mode today as they prepare for Wednesday’s Premier League trip to Brentford. Albion are ninth in the league standings after Sunday’s 2-1 loss at title-chasing Liverpool. De Zerbi’s men performed well at Anfield but in the end the quality of Jurgen Klopp’s team – led by ex-Brighton player Alexis Mac Allister shone through. Brentford will poses an altogether different challenge as Thomas Frank’s team, who drew 1-1 with Man United last time out, look to put further space between themselves and the relegation battle.
Here’s how brighton could line-up for this one at the Gtech Community Stadium...
