Brighton Premier League guide: The latest fixtures, results, team news and Brighton odds
Brighton are still looking for their first goal under new boss Roberto De Zerbi, but they did at least pick up a first point midweek with a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. The Seagulls were left to rue some poor finishing in a game they largely dominated, although Leandro Trossard did smack the crossbar and Dean Henderson made a series of saves in the Forest goal.
That home draw keeps Brighton comfortably in the top 10 of the Premier League table, and within touching distance of the top six heading into this weekend’s game.
We’ve taken a look at all you need to know about Brighton – from their next league game, to the latest football betting odds.
When is the next Brighton Premier League fixture?
Brighton head to Man City this weekend, kicking off at the Etihad Stadium at 15:00 on Saturday. The Seagulls have never won an away game against City in their entire history, although they did beat Pep Guardiola’s side as recently as May 2021.
That game at the Amex Stadium saw Brighton recover from a 2-0 deficit with a blitz of second-half goals from Leandro Trossard and centre-backs Adam Webster and Dan Burn. City were stunned in what was the Seagulls’ first league victory over them since April 1989 in what was then League Division Two. It’s safe to say both clubs have come a long, long way since then.
What are the odds that Brighton win their next game?
Brighton are 12/1 underdogs to beat Man City and record a first-ever away win against this opponent. The Seagulls have not scored a goal in this fixture in their five previous visits to the Etihad Stadium in all competitions but were unfortunate not to find the net in their last match against Forest. Brighton are 17/20 to score at least 1 goal in the match, and 4/1 to score at least twice.
Leandro Trossard has five goals already this campaign and came close to breaking the deadlock on Tuesday night – could he prove the difference for the Seagulls against City? We have 16/1 that Trossard finds the net from outside the box, and 6/1 that the Belgian scores any time in the game.
Powerful centre-back Adam Webster was a goalscorer the last time Brighton beat City, in May 2021, and could be a danger from set-pieces on Saturday. Webster is 16/1 to get a goal at any time, and 50/1 to score the first of the game.

What is the latest Brighton injury and transfer news?
Centre-back Levi Colwill is a doubt for the trip to City with a knock, and Jakub Moder is definitely out with a knee injury. Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma has also picked up an ankle problem in recent weeks and looks like being out for the rest of October – he is targeting an early-November return to fitness.
Who are Brighton’s key players?
Leandro Trossard and Pascal Gross have been two of the main contributors for Brighton so far this season, with both enjoying some of the best football of their careers to date. Alexis Mac Allister has proven to be a set-piece specialist, while Moises Caicedo combines highly technical play with the physicality of a box-to-box midfielder, and should help the Seagulls at both ends of the pitch.
