Preview Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League, Nov 6, 2021
Preview Brighton remains winless in five Premier League games, DDDLD, following the hard-fought 2-2 draw against Liverpool last Saturday. The Seagulls found their way back from a two-goal deficit, after goals from Jordan Henderson (4') and Sadio Mane (24') had the Reds in the lead. A well-executed right-footed shot across the face of goal from Enoch Mwepu (41'), registered itself as a contender for goal-of-the-month when it dipped behind Alisson and into goal. Firmino tried to duplicate but failed to find the required angle. Five minutes after the hour mark, Leandro Trossard (65') stepped through a forest of legs for the equalizer, leaving Jurgen Klopp with a wry smile on the sidelines. The draw saw the Seagulls pushed down three spots from 5th to 8th place. Meanwhile, Graham Potter has been credited with the club’s best-ever start in its history, having picked up 16 points already after 4W, 4D, & 2L, - their highest number of points ever after 10 top-flight matches in a campaign. The 46-year-old will be on the hunt for maximum points against a rocky Newcastle United on Saturday. An average goal ratio of 1.1 goals per game leaves the Seagulls with 11 goals in ten Premier League games, but they have conceded just as much and have a G.D. of 0. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Trossard at the top of the shape appears to be on the horizon. On availability, Danny Welbeck and Steven Alzate are ruled out, while Taylor Richards remains in doubt.
Preview Newcastle United Premier League, Nov 6, 2021
Preview With the recent big-money acquisition of the club, Newcastle remains at the bottom of the league table, in 19th place, and the alarm bells are sounding over the club’s season-long struggles which could see them dumped out of top-flight football. Following the exit of Steve Bruce, caretaker manager Graeme Jones is also yet to find a win, and the club is desperately in search of a solution, recently turning their sights to ex-Arsenal coach, Unai Emery. Villarreal is my home and I am 100 percent committed to the club, Emery said on Twitter, as he crushed reports linking him to the job. Last weekend, the Magpies picked up a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, leaving them with only 4 points from 0W, 4D, & 6L, and a form that reads: DLLDL. A 5—3—2 formation is expected from Jones on Saturday, with Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin in attack.
