Fulham will make a short trip to East Sussex to take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon looking to build on their emphatic 4-2 win over Burnley from the last gameweek. However, it won’t be easy for the London side to get a result this weekend with the Seagulls in such great form. Chris Hughton’s men managed to get a victory over Manchester United which was followed by a narrow loss to Liverpool last Saturday.
Hence, we can expect Brighton to be up for this challenge which makes this Premier League affair a mouth-watering contest. Slaviša Jokanović is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation and might hand Ryan Sessegnon a start up top.
4-3-3 Fulham Predicted Lineup To Face Brighton And Hove
Defence
Marcus Bettinelli might get the nod to start ahead of Fabricio Agosto Ramírez on Saturday afternoon. The English shot-stopper shipped in two goals against Burnley last weekend so he would be desperate to bounce back in this game versus the Seagulls.
The defensive duo of Denis Odoi and Maxime Le Marchand should continue as the first-choice centre-backs for the Cottagers. The new summer arrival, Joe Bryan could start as the left-back while Timothy Fosu-Mensah would look to use his pace on the right side of Slaviša Jokanović’s backline.
Midfield
The Fulham midfield would be comprised of André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, sitting as the holding midfielder. Both Jean Michaël Seri and Tom Cairney, playing ahead of Anguissa, would have to be creative with the ball and make some opportunities for their frontmen. The trio has already showcased their talents in the first few matches and has become quite a crucial part of Jokanović’s team.
Attack
Jokanović’s front three needs to deliver once again if the away side are to come away with a result from this upcoming gameweek. The terrific trio of Ryan Sessegnon, Aleksandar Mitrović and André Schürrle will hope to cause some problems for the resolute Brighton defenders. Both Mitrovic and Schurrle found the back of the net last weekend and would look to continue their goal-scoring run against Chris Hughton’s team.
