Brighton Round-Up, Thursday 12th November: Pundits Rave About Albion's Title Credentials as Palace Sack Another Manager
Brighton are the talk of the pundit circuit this week as the Premier League table continues to raise eyebrows. A Sky Sports expert has given their verdict on Albion's title chances, admitting they "do worry" about whether the Seagulls can keep pace, while also addressing claims about Arsenal's position in the race (SussexWorld). Alan Shearer has also weighed in, saying Brighton "won't go away" as the title fight hots up, pitting them alongside Liverpool and Chelsea in the conversation (SussexWorld).
There's extra reason for Albion fans to enjoy the week, with Crystal Palace - Brighton's fierce south-coast rivals - sacking their manager just 25 days after that 5-0 thrashing at the Amex (SussexWorld). An ex-Tottenham man has emerged as the favourite to take over at Selhurst Park in the wake of the decision (SussexWorld).
Elsewhere, Football365 have published a piece listing seven reasons why incoming Manchester United boss Mauricio Pochettino should make a £58m Brighton player his first signing at Old Trafford, with former United striker Teddy Sheringham among those making the case (Football365).
On the pitch, Brighton's men beat Brentford 2-0 at the Amex last Sunday, and attention now turns to the trip to Hull on 22 November followed by the visit of CSU Craiova in the Conference League on 26 November. The women's side had a mixed week, losing 2-1 away to Spurs in the WSL before bouncing back with a 3-1 League Cup win over Watford at home, and they now prepare to host Liverpool on Saturday before a League Cup trip to London City the following Wednesday.
