Fabian Hurzeler's Seagulls are unbeaten so far in their tune-up matches. They fired six past League One Wycombe Wanders, three against Stoke City in Spain, Las Palmas shipped two and Frank Lampard's Coventry were also beaten 2-0 last Saturday behind closed doors at the Lancing training ground.
Portsmouth are said to be next in a behind closed doors friendly on Wednesday night. Brighton fans will finally be able to watch a pre-season friendly this Saturday as Hurzeler's men face Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday and their final tune-up is against Bundesliga club Wolfsburg at the Amex Stadium on August 9. The serious action gets underway against Fulham on August 16 at the Amex.
Midfielder O'Riley will be keen to continue his encouraging form. He scored an excellent 30-yard effort against Las Palmas and also claimed an assist for Yasin Ayari. The former Celtic man then teed-up Ayari once more as Brighton opened the scoring against Coventry.
Last season was frustrating for O'Riley. He arrived from Celtic for £25m but was clattered just minutes into his debut and sustained a serious ankle injury.
Achieving peak fitness continued to be a problem throughout the season, with record £40m signing Georginio preferred in the No 10 role.
Serie A champions Napoli tried their luck with a £25m bid earlier this month, which was rejected by Brighton. It seems as though the 24-year-old Danish international will be a at the Amex this season, So how can Hurzeler get the best from Georginio and O'Riley?
Here's a potential XI that could do just that...

2. Mats Wieffer - RB
The midfielder maybe a reluctant right back but he has the potential to be a very good one. His role will be key if O'Riley operates ahead of him. Photo: BHAFC

4. Lewis Dunk - CB
The skipper has had a full pre-season which will hopefully help to put his form and fitness issues of last season behind him. Photo: BHAFC
