  1. Sutton's predictions: Brighton v Wolvespublished at 11:03 26 October

    Chris Sutton and Nemzzz

    Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

    For week nine he takes on rapper Nemzzz, who supports Manchester United.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-1

    I disagreed with Wolves boss Gary O'Neil because I thought it was correct not to disallow Manchester City's last-gasp winner last weekend.

    O'Neil was clutching at straws to compare it to the goal Max Kilman had ruled out against West Ham last season because, unlike Bernardo Silva for City, in that incident Tawanda Chirewa was offside and directly in the goalkeeper’s way.

    I felt for O'Neil because Wolves played really well, although in the end I was only four goals out with my prediction of a 6-1 City win.

    This is another tough game for them, against a Brighton side who got a really good win at Newcastle last week.

    So can Wolves drag themselves up again after giving so much and coming close to getting a point against the champions?

    I am really tempted to go for them to get a draw but, although they deserved to get more than one point from their first eight games, they have been inconsistent.

    Wolves have definitely got a goal in them, but I am going with Brighton to take the points.

    Nemzzz's prediction: 1-1

    Brighton are flying but I don't think Wolves are as bad as the league table suggests.

    Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari is pleased with the progress he has made this season and about being able to contribute to his team's excellent start.

    The Sweden international joined the Seagulls in January 2023 and spent last season on loan in the Championship, first with Coventry and later with Blackburn.

    So far in 2024-25, the 21-year-old has featured in six of Brighton's eight Premier League games and helped Fabian Hurzeler's side climb to fifth in the table.

    "I'm trying to enjoy every moment and trying to work hard to be a better player every day," he told BBC Radio Sussex before Saturday's game against bottom club Wolves.

    "We go into every game to try to win it. We have two wins in a row and we want to make it three. Now is a good chance to show everybody what we can do.

    "I don't know what [other] people think, but here, we are convinced that we have a good team, a good coach and I think we can do good things this season."

  4. 'Brighton away is one of the hardest fixtures in the Premier League'published at 11:48 25 October

    Former Wolves striker Don Goodman says that facing Brighton at Amex Stadium is "one of the hardest fixtures in the Premier League".

    The Molineux side visit on Saturday having fallen to a stoppage-time defeat at home to champions Manchester City last weekend. Goodman believes that the side will approach their contest with Brighton on Saturday in the same manner.

    Speaking on this week's Albion Unlimited podcast Goodman explained: "Coming away to Brighton is up there with one of the hardest fixtures in the Premier League. And Wolves will probably have to approach it in a not too disimilar way to last week [v Manchester City]. I expect them to come to the Amex and try to be solid, hard to break down because they have conceded 23 league goals after just eight games so far this season."

    So what has Goodman made of the Seagulls so far this season?

    "I have been really impressed, You are a threat, there is no doubt about it, with 14 goals in eight league games so far.

    "The main disappointments will be the draws at home against Ipswich and Forest, so you could potentially have had even more points. But from what I have seen Brighton are in a good place."

    Former Brighton forward Bobby Zamora is looking forward to helping "strikers to achieve their goals" after taking up a new role as striker consultant.

    The 43-year-old is currently in his third spell with the Seagulls as a club ambassador, having had two on the south coast as a player.

    He will now combine his ambassadorial role with helping develop Brighton's attacking players as part of boss Fabian Hurzeler's backroom staff.

    "I’m pleased to be back to help the club and the strikers to achieve their goals, working on all the elements of football on and off the pitch," said Zamora.

    "It's a great environment to be involved in and hopefully I can play a part in helping the club achieve further success."

    Having initially joined Albion on loan in February 2000, Zamora went on to play 108 games across two spells, scoring 51 goals.

    Technical director David Weir added: "Bobby clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience from an exceptional career in the game, and he is working to help our attacking players across two sessions each week.

    "Brighton fans need no introduction to Bobby; they know just how clinical he was as a player and about his ability in the penalty box We feel he can help our attacking players in that regard."
