After disappointing back-to-back matches with Liverpool, Brighton defeated Manchester City (2:1) and went into the international break. As last week showed, the break did not disrupt their winning form. Fabian Hürzeler’s side continued their strong performance with a 2:1 away win over Bournemouth. The standout player of the match was João Pedro, who scored and also provided an assist for Kaoru Mitoma. However, the villain of the match was Carlos Baleba, who was sent off half an hour before the end, leaving his team with a man down. The Cameroonian will miss the upcoming match due to suspension, while Solly March and James Milner are out due to injuries.
Southampton went into the international break in a bad mood after losing to direct rival Wolverhampton (0:2), and their losing streak continued in the last round. However, Russell Martin’s side almost pulled off a surprise. Liverpool only scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute, while Southampton managed to score twice against the league leaders (2:3). Adam Armstrong contributed with one goal and one assist. Unfortunately, the match was not without casualties. Adam Lallana was substituted due to an injury. It’s also worth noting that two key players—central defender Jan Bednarek and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale—are in the treatment room for the visitors.
