  • Nottingham Forest are winless in their last three Premier League meetings with Brighton (D1 L2), having been unbeaten in their previous eight top-flight matches against the Seagulls (W6 D2).

  • Brighton won this exact fixture 3-2 last season – they’ve never before won consecutive away league games against Nottingham Forest.

  • Nottingham Forest’s eight game unbeaten run came to an end last time out at Bournemouth, conceding more goals in that defeat (5) as they did in their previous seven Premier League games combined (4). Only once previously this season have they lost consecutive league matches, doing so in November against Newcastle and Arsenal.

  • Brighton’s six game unbeaten run was ended last time out at home to Everton. The Seagulls have won just two of their last 11 Premier League games (D6 L3) and could lose consecutive matches for the first time since ending last season with back-to-back defeats.

  • Nottingham Forest have won six of their last eight Premier League home games (D1 L1), with five of those six victories coming by a one goal margin. This is just the second time they are kicking off at 12:30 on a Saturday since their return to the Premier League, beating Liverpool 1-0 at the City Ground in October 2022 in their only previous game.

  • Brighton have scored the opening goal in 10 of their 12 Premier League away games this season (including in each of their last five), more than any other side. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have gone 1-0 up in 18 of their 23 league games overall this term, the most in the division.

  • Only Erling Haaland (17), Alexander Isak (16) and Mohamed Salah (14) have scored more non penalty goals in the Premier League this season than Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood (12). Wood has scored more goals against Brighton (9) than he has against any other side in his English league career.

  • Brighton’s JoĂ£o Pedro has six goal involvements in his last eight away appearances in the Premier League (2 goals, 4 assists), also netting a brace at the City Ground back in November 2023.

  • The average distance of Nottingham Forest’s goal kicks in the Premier League this season has been 43.7 metres, the highest of any side, while 121 of those have ended in the attacking half, 26 more than any other team. By contrast, only three sides have taken goal kicks at a shorter average distance than Brighton this campaign (23.4 metres).

  • Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina has taken 35 throw-ins that have ended in the opposition’s penalty area in the Premier League this season, seven more than any other player. In total, Forest have taken 56 throws that end in the opposition box, with only Brentford doing so more often (60).

  • Brighton reject €60m offer for Kaoru Mitoma from Al-Nassr


    Brighton reject €60m offer for Kaoru Mitoma from Al-Nassr

    Brighton reject €60m offer for Kaoru Mitoma from Al-Nassr

    According to L’Équipe, Al-Nassr have submitted a €60m offer to sign Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma (27). The Seagulls have rejected the offer submitted by the Saudi Arabian club as they seek to keep the Japanese international attacker on the South Coast of England.

    The initial offer has been rejected by the Premier League club but Al-Nassr are expected to return with a larger offer for Mitoma. It remains to be seen whether the 27-year-old would be keen to leave Brighton and move to the Middle East before the January transfer window closes.

    Premier League raid

    Al-Nassr have targeted a raid on the Premier League before the winter window closes. The Saudi Pro League club are set to complete a deal to sign Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran (21) for more than €70m. PSG and West Ham United were interested in a move for the Colombian but he opted for a move to Al-Nassr.

    Brighton have rejected a lucrative €60 million offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr for the services of Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma. The Seagulls are determined to hold on to the talented 24-year-old, who has been in scintillating form this season.

    Mitoma has been a key player for Brighton, contributing with goals and assists on a regular basis. His performances have caught the eye of several top clubs, but Brighton are not willing to let him go for any price.

    The Japanese international has expressed his desire to stay at Brighton and continue his development under manager Graham Potter. Mitoma believes that he can achieve great things with the Seagulls and wants to repay the faith shown in him by the club.

    Despite Al-Nassr’s sizeable offer, Brighton are standing firm in their decision to keep Mitoma at the club. The Seagulls are confident that they can build a competitive team around the talented winger and push for European qualification in the coming seasons.

    Mitoma’s future at Brighton may still be uncertain, but one thing is for sure – the club will not be swayed by big money offers from abroad. Brighton are determined to keep hold of their prized asset and continue their upward trajectory in the Premier League.

  • Al-Nassr ready $112 million deal for Kaoru Mitoma after Brighton reject Saudi club’s opening bid

    Al-Nassr are ready to offer a package worth $112 million for Kaoru Mitoma after seeing an opening bid rejected by Brighton. The initial offer, worth $67 million, was rejected by the Seagulls but Mitoma is the first choice at the Saudi Pro League side as they look to strengthen their options on the wing.

    However, with their transfer deadline looming on Friday, Al-Nassr are eager to get their man with sources close to the club indicating the lucrative bid is expected to be submitted in the coming hours. A senior delegation from the club has traveled to the United Kingdom to secure the deal while also tying up an $80 million deal for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. 

    Brighton are said to be reluctant to lose one of their most important players. Whether such a high fee would change that stance remains unclear. Mitoma, whose current Brighton contract expires in 2027, joined from Kawasaki Frontale of Japan in 2021. He would subsequently establish himself in the Seagulls’ side after a loan spell in Belgium. Across 92 appearances in all competitions, he has delivered 18 goals and 16 assists, earning a reputation as one of the Premier League’s best left wingers.

    Any move for Mitoma could see Sadio Mane depart Al-Nassr, who attempted to move on from the Senegal international in the summer to no avail. 





    Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club, has shown serious intent in securing the services of Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma from Brighton. After having their initial bid rejected by the English club, Al-Nassr is now ready to make a whopping $112 million offer to bring the talented player to the Middle East.

    Mitoma has been a standout performer for Brighton’s youth team and has caught the eye of several top clubs around the world. Al-Nassr is determined to make Mitoma their marquee signing and are willing to break the bank to make it happen.

    The $112 million deal would make Mitoma one of the most expensive transfers in football history, showcasing the club’s commitment to building a strong squad for the upcoming season. Brighton will now have a tough decision to make as they weigh up the financial benefits of selling Mitoma against the potential loss of a promising young talent.

    Stay tuned for further updates as Al-Nassr looks to finalize the deal and secure Mitoma’s signature in what promises to be a blockbuster transfer saga.

  • Kaoru Mitoma: Brighton reject £54m bid for winger from Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr | Football News


    Brighton have rejected an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr for winger Kaoru Mitoma worth £54m (€65m).

    It is understood the Japan international is not for sale.

    Al Nassr’s move for Mitoma follows the Saudi Pro League side agreeing a £64m deal for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.

    Al Nassr’s deal for the Colombia international is part of a new Saudi strategy to focus on singing young and developing players rather than being regarded as a retirement home for ageing superstars.

    Now the club Cristiano Ronaldo plays for are eyeing a move for another Premier League player in Mitoma.

    The 27-year-old joined the Seagulls from Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale in 2021 for a reported £2.7m before spending the 2021/22 season on loan at Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise.

    Mitoma made his Brighton debut in August 2022 has since made 92 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals.

    Mitoma has played in all 23 Premier League games for Fabian Hurzeler’s side this season and has netted five goals.

    Ronaldo behind moves for Mitoma and Duran?

    Sky Sports News’ chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol speaking on The Transfer Show:

    “Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Al Nassr, who are one of the four clubs in Saudi Arabia owned by the sovereign wealth fund so they are one of the richest clubs in Saudi Arabia.

    “Even though they’ve got Ronaldo, they have not really been challenging for the title. Al Hilal are the best team in Saudi Arabia at the moment so I wonder whether Ronaldo has been putting a bit of pressure on the people upstairs at Al Nassr and saying, ‘I want to win more titles and trophies’, as he turns 40 next week.

    “This is maybe why they’re going for top players like Jhon Duran and Mitoma.”

    Brighton have reportedly rejected a massive £54m bid from Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr for their star winger Kaoru Mitoma. The Japanese international has been in scintillating form for the Seagulls this season, attracting interest from clubs across Europe and beyond.

    Mitoma has been a key player for Brighton, contributing with goals and assists on a consistent basis. His electrifying pace and dribbling skills have made him a fan favorite at the Amex Stadium, and the club is determined to hold on to their prized asset.

    Despite the lucrative offer from Al Nassr, Brighton are unwilling to part ways with Mitoma as they see him as a crucial part of their future plans. The club is said to be working on a new contract for the 24-year-old in order to ward off any further interest from potential suitors.

    Mitoma’s potential move to Al Nassr would have seen him link up with former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez, who recently joined the Saudi Arabian club. However, it seems that Brighton are intent on keeping hold of their talented winger for the foreseeable future.

    Fans will be hoping that Mitoma can continue to dazzle on the pitch and help Brighton achieve their goals in the Premier League this season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing transfer saga.

  • Preview: Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Everton – prediction, team news, lineups


    Sports Mole previews Saturday’s Premier League clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

    Two sides who enjoyed impressive Premier League victories last weekend meet at the Amex on Saturday, when Brighton & Hove Albion play host to Everton.

    Both clubs have been guilty of not winning enough games this season, but they took a huge step in the right direction with their performances last Sunday.


    Match preview

    Being away from the Amex over the past few weeks has helped Brighton get their season back on track, when it was starting to show signs of fading into mediocrity.

    After an eight-game winless run in the Premier League, Brighton have since earned back-to-back victories, both coming on the road.

    Beating Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road ended that barren run, before Fabian Hurzeler‘s men went to Old Trafford and swept an out-of-sorts Manchester United aside in a 3-1 success.

    That was the third year running Brighton have won at Old Trafford, and they have done so under three different managers, with Hurzeler joining Roberto De Zerbi and Graham Potter in earning the Seagulls three points at the Theatre of Dreams.

    The impact of their 4-0 win away to Norwich City in the FA Cup should not be underestimated either, because that allowed the likes of Georginio Rutter and Yankuba Minteh to return to form, and they both scored in the Man United win.

    Brighton now sit ninth and are well in the hunt for European qualification again, lying only three points off the top seven, and six off the top four.

    This weekend provides the hosts with the opportunity to win three straight Premier League games for the first time in almost 18 months, but finding the winning spark at the Amex will be required, given that they have only taken maximum points three times in 10 games here this season.

    However, they will enter this fixture knowing they have already enjoyed a big win over upcoming opponents Everton this season, leaving Goodison Park with a 3-0 victory on the opening day.

    Brighton have never before completed a league double over Everton in 11 previous seasons, and David Moyes‘s task will be to ensure that continues, and the Toffees have a good recent record at the Amex.

    After not winning on any of their first four Premier League visits here, Everton have now won two of the last three, and they should have taken three points here last season too, inexplicably throwing two points away in injury time against a 10-man Brighton.

    Iliman Ndiaye celebrates scoring for Everton against Tottenham Hotspur on January 19, 2025© Iconsport

    The Everton faithful will hope that Moyes can change the tune regarding their away form though, where they have just one goal in six games, and signs that times are changing were present last weekend, when the Toffees were dominant in their win over Tottenham Hotspur.

    While the final score read 3-2, that was extremely flattering for a Spurs side that could have had no complaints if they were 6-0 down before pulling a goal back.

    It was Everton’s first win since early December, moving them four points clear of the drop zone, and it also saw them claim a victory in the month of January for the first time in four years.

    A blistering first-half performance also saw the Toffees score three goals in the opening 45 minutes at Goodison for the first time since April 2017, and they also scored two open-play goals in a single game for the first time in nine months.

    Faltering in the second-half is nothing new though, and that is something Moyes must rectify, because no team has scored as few goals (seven) or conceded a higher proportion of goals (68%) after the interval than Everton.

    A Premier League table taking into account only goals in the second half of matches would see Everton sit bottom of the table, so maintaining performance levels for longer than 45 minutes will be a priority.

    Brighton & Hove Albion's Evan Ferguson in action on December 15, 2024© Imago

    Brighton are close to welcoming back numerous first-team players from injury, with Evan Ferguson, Mats Wieffer, Brajan Gruda and Jack Hinshelwood all back in training.

    Hurzeler has been struck down with further injuries this week though, with Lewis Dunk and Matt O’Riley set to miss out, and the absence of the captain means Brighton will have just two fit central defenders here.

    Out for the long term, Igor will not be seen again this season, while Ferdi Kadioglu and James Milner will not be back until next month.

    Kaoru Mitoma has a fine record against Everton, scoring on two of his last three visits to Goodison, and notching another here at the Amex will see him become the first Japanese player to find the net in three straight Premier League games.

    There will be little reason for Moyes to make any changes to his Everton team after their win last weekend, with the players who came into the side impressing.

    Jesper Lindstrom caught the eye, having his best game in an Everton shirt to date, while summer signing Jake O’Brien got his first league start at right-back, doing nothing wrong despite playing slightly out of position.

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin ended his 16-game scoring drought, solidifying his place in the starting XI, and finding some form in front of goal will be crucial, with Armando Broja out injured and Beto seemingly not in Moyes’s plans.

    Everton will hope to welcome Dwight McNeil back from injury before the month is out, while James Garner has also been in full training, but is being eased back into the fold for the time being.

    Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
    Verbruggen; Veltman, Webster, Van Hecke, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Joao Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck

    Everton possible starting lineup:
    Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Mangala, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin


    SM words green background

    We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Everton

    The stats suggest this will be a difficult afternoon for Everton, who have won just one of their last 21 away Premier League games, and Moyes has only ever enjoyed one win over the Seagulls in 10 previous meetings.

    Brighton are back in form and full of confidence, scoring goals at will and collecting maximum points, and they will be favourites to do so again this weekend.

    Brighton & Hove Albion will face off against Everton in an exciting Premier League match this weekend. Both teams will be looking to secure a crucial win as they continue their quest for a successful season.

    Prediction:
    This match is expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams having shown good form in recent weeks. Brighton will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage, while Everton will be aiming to secure an important away victory. I predict a 2-1 win for Brighton in a thrilling encounter.

    Team News:
    Brighton will be without the services of midfielder Adam Lallana, who is sidelined with a thigh injury. Tariq Lamptey is also a doubt for the match due to a hamstring problem. However, Graham Potter will have a nearly full squad to choose from for this crucial fixture.

    On the other hand, Everton will be without the services of midfielder Allan, who is out with a hamstring injury. Jean-Philippe Gbamin is also a doubt for the match due to a calf problem. Nonetheless, Rafa Benitez will have a strong squad at his disposal for this important clash.

  • Everton at Brighton: Opposition Analysis | Nothing to Fear, Everything To Play For


    The David Moyes 2.0 era achieved liftoff last weekend, with the team’s exciting 3-2 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur. There’d been a last-minute abortive launch during the previous game, in which Everton had shown some positive signs of improvement under their new (old) boss, but fallen short at Goodison Park, losing to Aston Villa. However, there was nothing wrong with the team’s booster rockets last time out.

    The admittedly depleted visitors were blown away by the Blues, in the kind of first half performance rarely seen at the Old Lady in recent years. The great old stadium’s final season was treated to a game worthy of its history and reputation, and hopefully there will be at least a couple much such days to come before it reaches the end.

    It’s a change of scenery for the Toffees today, however, as they make the long trip south to the Amex, where they’ll take on ninth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.

    Form

    The Seagulls found their first-ever foray into European football demanding last term, ending up finishing eleventh — dropping 14 points from their previous campaign. The team’s depth was sorely put to the test by a push to the last 16 of the Europa League and it was found a little wanting. Ambitious manager Roberto De Zerbi had cut an unhappy figure during the second half of the season and departed for pastures new in the summer, to be replaced by the shockingly-young (to me, anyway) Fabian HĂ¼rzeler. If Brighton had banked significant funds during the previous campaign, with sales of major players, then they blew it like a Vegas high roller last summer, with a net transfer spend of more than €190m.

    Of the newcomers, fullback Ferdi KadıoÄŸlu (€30m, Fenerbahce) made the most early impact, before suffering a toe injury which will keep him out of today’s match. Another major signing, midfielder Mats Wieffer (€32m, Feyenoord) also misses out. Winger Brajan Gruda (€31.5m, Mainz 05) has passed a fitness test, though fellow recruit, midfielder Matt O’Riley (€29.5m, Celtic) is a doubt. Two others – striker Georginio Rutter (€46.7m) and former Blues target Yankuba Minteh (€35m, Newcastle United) – have been used mostly from the bench, though both scored last weekend.

    The new boss got off to a great start in England, losing just one of his opening nine Premier League fixtures, after blowing away the Toffees 3-0 at Goodison to kick off the campaign. The young German picked up some notable scalps, beating Manchester United, Spurs and the Magpies during this impressive run, with the lone loss coming to Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge. A creditable away defeat to Liverpool followed, but the Seagulls rebounded with back-to-back victories over Manchester City and Bournemouth, before they entered a slump: eight games without a win — albeit with only two defeats.

    The South Coast outfit has found its form of late, however, taking maximum points from the last two outings. A routine 2-0 win over Ipswich Town was followed up with a clinical dispatching of a woeful United side, 3-1 at Old Trafford, last weekend.

    Style of Play

    HĂ¼rzeler is quite flexible in the manner in which he sets up, though he almost always works from out of a basic back four framework. The young American-born coach has his own ideas as to how he wants to play, but he’s also in the formative stages of what figures to be a long managerial career and is happy to adapt. He’s varied the formation throughout the campaign, starting off with a 4-2-3-1, moving to a 4-4-2 and back again, and for the last two games – both victories – he’s used a 4-1-4-1 and 4-4-2, respectively. It should be noted that both of those matches were on the road, however and Brighton have deployed the 4-2-3-1 in each of their last three at the Amex.

    One of the German’s core concepts is a desire to play through the opposition press. He’ll instruct players to move to facilitate this, with fullbacks inverting on occasion and midfielders and even forwards dropping back in order to create overloads, in order to create passing opportunities. This is clearly drilled in training and accordingly Brighton are one of the most press-resistant teams in the league.

    What they are not, however is a possession side: they command a 52.3% share of the ball (eighth ranked), way down from 60.2% under De Zerbi. Their pass completion percentage is also down — 85.3%, compared to 89% last term. Most of their passing is short (only 8.8% long), but they will go direct when required, particularly on the road. They are well-balanced in attack, but favour the left.

    Brighton have scored 35 times this season, considerably exceeding their xG statistic of 30.7. They take 14.1 shots per 90 minutes (ranking joint sixth), but they lead the division in attempts from central areas (74%), which may explain their overperformance. Nothing stands out as a particular focus, when it comes to the situations they are scoring from: not set-pieces, general play, or counterattacks.

    Defensively, the Seagulls only permit 11.6 shots per 90 (ranking seventh). They rank highly on the number of crosses blocked and fouls committed, which is characteristic of a pressing team. They’ve conceded 30 times, slightly better than their xGA of 32.2 and defend set-plays well, but have been caught on the counter four times.

    Player Assessment

    Kaoru Mitoma is one of the hosts’ main threats. He’s enjoying a return to form after an injury-blighted prior campaign and has eight goal contributions this term from his left wing berth. He bagged a goal and an assist against United last week and will need to be watched carefully. The Japan international is adept at carrying the ball into the penalty area (2.21 times per 90) and dribbling (4.46 attempts, with a 42.5% success rate) and is ahead of all regulars in the side with 3.59 SCA (Shot-Creating Actions) per 90.

    With normal incumbent Gruda a doubt, Minteh – who scored a goal and provided an assist in a rare start last weekend – may retain his place on the right flank. The pacy Gambian is a danger with the ball at his feet. He’s attempted 5.8 dribbles per game (42.6% success rate) and carries the ball into the opposition area a team-high 3.58 times per 90.

    Carlos Baleba will partner fellow 21-year-old Yasin Ayari in midfield. The Colombian leads the team in combined tackles and interceptions (4.65) and ball recoveries (6.79) per 90. An intelligent player whose pass completion percentage of 87.9 leads all non-defenders at Brighton, Baleba is yet another fantastic midfield find by Brighton’s recruitment people and already worth considerably more than the €27m the club paid for him less than 18 months ago.

    Solution

    Although Brighton are considered by many to be a major success story in recent years – which they are – and Everton a basket-case over the same period (also true), it’s worth noting that the Toffees haven’t actually lost any of their last four visits to the Amex. In fact, we have to go all the way back to October 2019, when Graham Potter was Seagulls boss and Marco Silva in the away dugout for that last victory by the home side: 3-2, courtesy of a Lucas Digne own goal in the 94th minute, so the idea that the Blues are right up against it here is not supported by history. The Merseysiders can travel down to the South Coast with every expectation of being able to get a positive result.

    In terms of form, both have recently emerged from a winless slump. Everton will be on a high coming off the win against Spurs and it’s apparent that the mood around the playing squad has received a major lift following Moyes’ arrival. What the boss will do in terms of selection and formation is hard to gauge. It’s highly tempting to stick with what worked last time out and I expect to see an unchanged lineup, with the team perhaps adopting more of a back three shape than was evident against the Londoners. If the Blues enjoy any tactical advantages over their opponents, then unpredictability is surely one.

    Brighton will look to invite the press, as we saw on opening day at Goodison, where an aggressive home side caused numerous turnovers, but were frustratingly unable to caplitalise. If the visitors can show the same energy and determination which was evident last weekend, then they can cause the hosts problems. Of course, that may be playing into Brighton’s hands. However, I don’t see Everton sitting off in a passive, defensive shell, as would have been the case under Sean Dyche. The team will allow the hosts to play out, in my opinion, but look to pressure them as they enter the middle third, maintaining a compact defensive shape, but crucially the potential for rapid counterattacks.

    It’s to be noted that the Seagulls have failed to win any of their last four home games, being held by Southampton, Brentford and Arsenal — and beaten by Crystal Palace. In that setback, the South Londoners set up in a 3-4-3 shape and limited the home side to low-percentage efforts. More than half of Brighton’s shots were blocked and they only scored via a Marc Guehi own goal, late on.

    Are Palace that much better than Everton? Could this gameplan be replicated today? I believe it can and that Moyes and his staff will have paid particular focus to that result during their match preparation. It’s still early days under the new man, so I think a win is possible, but unlikely; however I do believe that the Toffees can take something here.

    As Everton prepares to face Brighton in their upcoming match, it’s important to take a closer look at the opposition and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. While Brighton may not be one of the top teams in the league, they are a formidable opponent that should not be underestimated.

    One of Brighton’s key strengths is their solid defense. Led by the likes of Lewis Dunk and Ben White, Brighton have proven to be a tough team to break down. They are organized at the back and are capable of frustrating even the best attacking teams. Everton will need to be patient and creative in their approach to break down Brighton’s defense.

    In attack, Brighton have some dangerous players such as Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard. These players possess pace and skill, and can cause problems for any defense. Everton’s backline will need to be alert and focused in order to keep Brighton’s attacking threats at bay.

    However, despite Brighton’s strengths, Everton should not fear this matchup. The Toffees have shown that they are a strong team capable of competing with the best in the league. With players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez in their ranks, Everton have the quality to create chances and score goals against Brighton.

    This match presents an opportunity for Everton to continue their push for a top-four finish. While Brighton will be a tough opposition, Everton should approach this game with confidence and belief in their abilities. There is everything to play for in this matchup, and Everton will be looking to secure all three points to keep their momentum going.

    In conclusion, Everton should not fear Brighton, but instead approach this match with a positive mindset and a determination to succeed. With the right game plan and execution, Everton have the potential to come out on top in this crucial matchup. Let’s hope for an exciting and competitive game as Everton takes on Brighton.
