BRIGHTON LOCK HORNS
Brighton & Hove Albion is going to lock horns with Barnsley in a Championship game tomorrow at their home ground Amex.
The Seagulls will be entering that game as favourites as their opposition is very low in confidence at the moment.
Barnsley is currently right at the bottom of the Championship points table and they will be making their way to Amex without their manager David Flitcroft who has recently faced the axe. It’s the assistant manager, Micky Mellon, who will manage the Tykes against Brighton.
However, the good news for the Barnsley fans is that a couple of their main players (David Fox and Chris O’Grady) who couldn’t feature in the last game against Birmingham because of their respective injuries has got fit now and they can be expected to turn up on the ground at some point of time in the match against the Seagulls.
As far as Brighton is concerned, they are at no. 9 in the Championship points table at the moment. They have not lost a Championship game in the last couple of months. The last time that they had suffered a defeat was against Nottingham Forest in the first week of October. It suggests that their recent form has been pretty good.
The Seagulls’ boss, Oscar Garcia, might give the Scottish midfielder Liam Bridcutt a starting opportunity as he had impressed during his substitute outing in the previous game against AFC Bournemouth. Will Buckley might also find himself in the starting line up.
The last time that these two sides had taken on each other was in March this year. The Tykes had ended up winning that game convincingly. It was Chris Dagnall and Jason Scotland who had found the back of the net for them.
