Injuries have finally calmed down for Brighton but they're still missing Mats Wieffer, Adam Webster, Stefanos Tzimas and Solly March. Yankuba Minteh should be fit, while forwards Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter have been excellent stepping up a different times in recent weeks. Hurzeler has plenty of options to choose from.

Preview the matchup between Brighton & Hove Albion and AFC Bournemouth with predictions, odds, over/under, betting lines and more.

Brighton made a Premier League record profit across all clubs of £122.8m in 2022-23. That was aided by player sales, merit money for finishing sixth to qualify for Europe for the first time and compensation for the move by De Zerbi’s predecessor Graham Potter and members of his backroom staff to Chelsea in September 2022.

Brighton manager Dario Vidosic will take a period of leave for private family reasons, the club have confirmed.

Birmingham City have signed Brighton and Hove Albion winger Ibrahim Osman on loan until the end of the season. The 21-year-old Ghanaian spent the first half of this season on loan with French top-flight side Auxerre, making 14 appearances in Ligue 1.

Hurzeler now has eight central midfielders in the squad for two positions. The conundrum is how Baleba fits into this congested picture
