Brighton have won only one of their last seven home matches against Aston Villa. I can't see the Seagulls losing this time, but getting all three points will be tough.

Such an unexpected goal for Brighton. It was almost out of nothing, but definitely deserved. De Cuyper has been the best player on the field today #bhafc

That kind of movement from deep positions is exactly why I've been wanting Diego Gomez to start at DM. Can be such a game-changing player #BHAFC
November 30, 2025 at 2:09 PM
codyaceveda.bsky.social
Perfect lineup considering Baleba's form. Hopefully we get to see Gomez in a more traditional DM role. Wieffer there with Kadioglu at right-back wouldn't be bad either #BHAFC

Such a soft penalty against Brighton. That sort of jostling happens dozens of times a game. Genuinely can't believe that was given #BHAFC

Can't believe I'd almost forgotten how good a player Jack Hinshelwood is. What a sequence from him there and a deserved goal #BHAFC

Quintessential Danny Welbeck performance today. Skies his first three clear chances then converts something like that. Great goal. #BHAFC

I know Diego Gómez has scored some goals, but I really like Ferdi Kadioglu and Maxim De Cuyper together on the left for Brighton. If Mats Wieffer is going to stay at right-back, I hope we can see those two on the left more often while Mitoma is out #BHAFC

Baleba deservedly hooked at half-time again. I don't even know what to say about him at this point. Just a totally different player than last season #BHAFC

Brentford scored four in their last match against Brighton. Could they dominate again this year? I don't think so.

Manchester United could sign top midfield transfer target for less than expected
Manchester United will be arguably the biggest buyers in the midfield transfer market next summer, and there are already a quartet of players high on their wish list in Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, and Angelo Stiller. The possibility of Man United signing not one but two of these players cannot be discounted, and, lately, they seem to becoming increasingly smitten with Anderson over at Nottingham Forest amidst his huge breakout year on an otherwise awful team.
