Nico O’Reilly provides Manchester City with options, Sunderland feels the absence of Granit Xhaka’s toughness, and West Ham discovers a solution.
Brighton fans were hoping to gain some momentum after a five-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, but Saturday’s stoppage-time defeat to Fulham dashed those hopes. Fabian Hürzeler’s squad led at half-time, but their collapse was reflective of their away performances this season. With only two away victories—against Chelsea in September and Nottingham Forest in November—their quest for European spots has been weakened. Upcoming home games at the Amex against Everton on Saturday and rivals Crystal Palace next week offer a chance to recover. They are only seven points behind Chelsea in fifth place, but Brighton’s home record against David Moyes’s team is poor, having not beaten them since 2019 when a late Lucas Digne own goal secured the win for Graham Potter against an Everton side managed by Marco Silva.
