Brighton & Hove Albion will host Nottingham Forest at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, looking to secure consecutive Premier League wins and strengthen their position in the league.

After a disciplined 2–0 victory against Brentford, Brighton has improved its standing. Manager Fabian Hürzeler’s team showcased solid defense and effective finishing. They have a chance to achieve a league double over Forest, having also beaten them 2–0 last November. Brighton has kept clean sheets in their last three league victories.

Fabian Hürzeler’s squad is nearly at full strength at a crucial stage of the season. James Milner has recovered from a minor thigh issue and will continue his record-setting campaign. He is expected to play a vital role in midfield, which has been key to Brighton’s recent success. Danny Welbeck aims to net his 10th league goal of the season, a milestone that would make him one of the few players aged 33 or older to achieve double figures in consecutive Premier League seasons.

Bart Verbruggen will take the goalkeeper position, with Jan Paul van Hecke and captain Lewis Dunk in defense. Carlos Baleba and Pascal Groß are likely to lead the midfield, while Jack Hinshelwood continues to impress. Diego Gómez and Kaoru Mitoma will provide width in attack, supporting Welbeck. Gómez has been particularly effective this season, scoring nine goals, with seven of those coming away from home.
