For all of their solid performances this season — they have been in all five games they’ve played — Brighton have just a win and a draw to show for their efforts. Considering they’ve been narrowly beaten by Chelsea, Manchester United and PL leaders Everton, brighter days and results are almost certainly on the horizon with the schedule softening up a fair bit in the coming weeks.

What they’re saying: Brighton - West Brom
Graham Potter, on Ben White transfer rumors: “It is part of the football noise. The transfer window closes last week and we are already having conversations around transfer speculation, it is just the way it is. I know he is level-headed enough to not let it affect him. I think at this level you have to know it is part of the territory, it is part of the job of being a footballer, part of what you have to deal with. Consistently all he has done is just get on with his football.”
Slaven Bilic, on goalkeeper Sam Johnstone: “Without a good keeper, nobody has got a chance. We have good goalkeepers but I am extremely happy with him. At the beginning, because this is his first season playing in the Premier League, it was a new challenge for him. You would read it’s Sam’s first time in the Premier League — how is he going to do? Then he had a couple of good games, a few good saves against Southampton. A couple of good saves against Burnley, and he is confident.”
