Brighton aka point Thieves
Albions took away valuable points from teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds, Arsenal and Leicester. In an incredible comeback, they came back from 2-0 in the second half to level against Liverpool. Chelsea and Crystal Palace got heart broken as the Seagulls scored after 90th min. They levelled 8 matches scoring second and most of them late after 80 minutes. They have lost just 4 matches even if they won 6. In the last 5 matches, 4 draws and 1 win (2-1 win against West brom).
Potter's Plans
English coach Graham Potter uses 4-1-2-1-2 formation, making a diamond at the centre of the field. Maupay is the regular forward with Trossard or Welbeck. He uses 22 year old Poland player Moder along with Mac Allister and Trossard in midfield. Experienced Adam Lallana and Bissouma are there to balance the team. Spaniard Sanchez stands as goal keeper. Sometimes used 4-2-3-1, team have conceded and scored 23 goals, Maupay being the top scorer with 7 goals.
Potter has a flashback of bringing Swedish club Ostersund to UEFA Europa League knockout in 2016-17. Even though they have so many draws, it doesn't mean all were one sided games, sometimes deserved wins. They won against Brentford 1-0, with Trossard scoring at 90th minute.
Brighton and Hove
