Brighton vs Wolves is set for 3pm on Saturday 26th October but will not be broadcast live in the UK.
How both teams go into Brighton vs Wolves
Life under Hurzeler started fairly well for Brighton. The Seagulls sit fifth after eight games, with four wins and three draws from their opening seven matches. There was a rocky match where Brighton did go four games without victory. But they bounced back from that with a come-from-behind win against Tottenham before the international break.
Brighton are unbeaten in their four home league games so far this season, winning two and drawing two. The victories have been big ones too, with Tottenham and Manchester United leaving the Amex off the back of defeats.
At the other end of the table, things aren’t going well for Wolves. Gary O’Neil’s men are one of four teams yet to taste victory in the Premier League this season. They went into the October international break bottom of the table.
Wolves’ only point did come away from home, against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. However, they have also conceded 11 goals across four away league matches this season.
Brighton host Wolves at the Amex Stadium on Saturday 26th October at 3pm.
