Brighton’s narrow forward line

Glenn Murray is Brighton’s main striker and is well-known as a regular scorer against Saints in the past.

Graham Potter also has Neal Maupay and Florin Andone to call upon centrallly, but it is the Seagulls’ other attackers who may have more of a part to play this Saturday.

Pascal Gross has proven to be a great source of goals and assists for Brighton since signing, whilst Leandro Trossard had an impressive debut against West Ham last weekend and capped his display off with a goal.

Both players will play in narrow positions behind the central striker and will be key in their sides creativity and movement around the box.

The likely back three of Saints will have to put in a cohesive showing to stop their opponents from having any joy in attack.
