New PL table predicted by Opta as Brighton, Crystal Palace, Man United and Sunderland push for…

Brighton moved to sixth in the Premier League after their 2-1 win against Brentford at the Amex Stadium last Saturday.

Fabian Hurzeler's men are on a good run of form and travel to Nottingham Forest this Sunday. The Seagulls are now well placed to push for Europe but face competition from the likes of Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Manchester United and surprise package Sunderland.

Veteran striker Danny Welbeck is key for Albion and his goal against Brentford was his seventh of the campaign. Welbeck missed out on an England recall but Hurzeler remians a huge fan.

"I had a discussion with him about the [England] situation. Some decisions you can't control or can't influence. He should really focus on the things he can influence and that's how he performs for us.

“I'm sure if he continues doing that, he has a big chance [of making the World Cup squad].”
