The statistics experts Opta have crunched the numbers and predicted the final 2026-27 Premier League table

Brighton have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this term.

Fabian Hurzeler's Seagulls have enjoyed a fine start to the season and are second in the table after Sunday's 2-0 win against Brentford at the Amex Stadium.

Albion are the highest scorers in the division with 26 goals and have conceded just seven times from the first 10 matches - only leaders Arsenal have conceded fewer with five.

Brighton - along with the rest of the Premier League - now pause for the international break and resume top flight action on November 22 at Hull City.

Sixth-placed Everton and seventh-placed Bournemouth are also flying high and are among the clubs challenging the established elite.

Hurzeler: Brighton fans can dream

Albion fans are starting to get excited on what Hurzeler’s men can achieve this term. The head coach, speaking after the win against Brentford, said: “They should be always excited to watch our game and that's our job, to make them excited.

“They always say they can dream, they can have high expectations on us but these are things we can't control.

“Our control will be how we prepare for the games, how we focus on the next challenge, how we get improvements into the team. I think we played a good game, but after every game there are things we can do better.”
