Team News:
Weiffer and De Cuyper seem to be Hurzeler’s preferred full-backs as of right now. They certainly were during pre-season with De Cuyper impressing. A potential starting defender with attacking output for £4.5m is very appealing.
Carlos Baleba is involved in a mini-transfer saga with Man United lurking but Brighton are reliably reported as not willing sellers this summer and they will not budge on a £100 million plus valuation. No bid has yet been made.
Hurzeler speaking on Baleba on Friday was defiantly confident that he would remain a Brighton player this season, stating he is “very very very confident (in Baleba staying), that’s just my belief.”
Minteh and Mitoma will play on the wings.
Welbeck has not featured in Brighton’s pre-season and Rutter started the most recent game as the striker and scored a goal.
