Brighton News
Brighton are enjoying one of their strongest spells of the season and are currently unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches. A stoppage-time goal from Georginio Rutter earned them a 2-2 draw away at Tottenham in their most recent outing.
That result keeps the Seagulls ninth in the table, just one point behind sixth place, as they continue their push for European qualification. Their attack has been consistent, scoring in six of their last seven matches, although just three clean sheets in their last 10 highlight defensive concerns.
