The Seagulls are looking promising under their new manager. 

Brighton have started the new season brilliantly and are one of the few teams to remain unbeaten. The Seagulls currently occupy sixth spot in the Premier League under their new manager who has already lived up to the expectations as one of the promising young managers around. 

The Seagulls have also done extremely well in the cup competitions defeating fellow Premier League outfit Wolves 3-2 to move to the fourth round of the EFL Cup competition. They are now set to lock horns with Nottingham Forest against whom they have won the last two matches. 

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have surprised everyone with their performances so far. The Tricky Trees are also one of the teams to remain unbeaten. They pulled a surprise win over Liverpool in the last outing to register a narrow 1-0 win. 

Nuno Espirito Santo has assembled a good squad comprising of youth and experienced players who have improved the team. In the summer transfer window, they showcased their intent by making several high-profile signings who have made an instant impact on the team.

Players to Watch

Danny Welbeck (⁠Brighton)

Danny Welbeck has started the new season in brilliant form scoring two goals from the opening five matches. Having already made over 130 appearances for Seagulls since signing for them in 2020 from Watford, Welbeck has scored 28 goals. However, this season looks to be the one where he is starting to score goals consistently. Welbeck is not a typical forward as he often likes to drop deep to link up play and use his clever movements to take up the chances. 

Callum Hudson-Odoi (Nottingham Forest)

Callum Hudson-Odoi has finally found a new home where he is starting to show his potential after going through a tough spell at Chelsea. Last season, he scored eight goals for them while also providing two assists. He was once considered a real prospect to emerge from the Chelsea academy. He showed his incredible burst of pace and wonderful finishing against Liverpool to score a screamer. Callum Hudson-Odoi will be eyeing to continue his fine form against the Seagulls.
