Brighton - Brentford

Brighton & Hove Albion enter this matchday 10 contest riding a wave of defensive resilience, having secured back-to-back clean sheets against Manchester City and Getafe. The hosts welcome Brentford to The American Express Community Stadium on 8 November 2026, aiming to extend a run that has seen them claim impressive victories over Arsenal and Manchester City in recent weeks. While the expected XI features a balanced midfield anchored by Pascal Gross and Yasin Ayari, the team must navigate the absence of the injured Ferdi Kadioglu and Pascal Struijk as they look to solidify their standing in the Premier League.

Brentford arrive seeking consistency following their recent 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. The visitors, led by an expected attacking trio of Igor Thiago, Kevin Schade, and Dango Ouattara, have proven difficult to beat, though they will be mindful of their last meeting with Brighton, which ended in a 2-0 defeat on 21 February 2026.
