Brighton (H) - Wed 20th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Realistically, Brighton have not have not got the strength in depth to keep up a challenge for a European place and suffer from burn out (bad run). BHA lose out to Benfica over Nunez in an attempt to sign the missing striker, and lose over Ben White and Dan Burn to Arsenal and Newcastle who wanted regular first team football. With Bissouma out it may be too much of a hurdle to get any sort of result, which doesn't matter much. https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/211/Show/England-Brighton PREDICT 2-0

How do Brighton lose out selling White for 50 million ,cost nothing, Burn for 13 million cost 2.5 million,sounds like good business to me.
Brighton actually look a better team not playing a recognised striker,not that Maupay or Grandad Welbeck can be classed as one in truth,they correctly identified Nunez as a hot prospect 2 years ago but got pipped by Benfica,if they had of got a striker of his calibre then Brighton would probably be top 8 as they play some lovely football, but scoring just 29 goals is simply not enough to get you in to the European spots,unless you win 20 games 1 nil.

Bissouma is a big miss for Brighton but they seem to keep churning out decent midfielders,with Bissouma out I assume they'll play 5 midfield Caciedo (looks a quality player)Lallana MacAllister Mwepu and Cruyff-Grob.

Should be a home win but that said it wouldn't suprise me one jot if this is a draw.

City v Villareal in the final

I do wonder how that would be received. I would imagine that despite them knocking out Ajax, Juventus, Bayern and Liverpool at that point everyone would still claim it was a gift.

[Scouse Blue]

A really really tough game. Their away form this season (especially the very few losses) has been nothing short of incredible. Need to be absolutely on our game to take the 3 points.

If we get a 2 goal lead, we must not stop going for goals. At this stage of the season, we cannot afford to just win, goal difference could play a part. Can see Liverpool winning easily tonight. All we can prayer for, is fluke result.

Also for early substitutions in the second half. Foden, Bernardo and Cancelo must be withdrawn at the earliest.
