Brighton & Hove Albion open their Premier League journey for the 2025/26 season hosting Londoners Fulham. Amex Stadium will play host to the game, kicking off at 3pm (BST) on Saturday, August 16.
Fabian Hurzeler had a modest first campaign with the Seagulls. He became the youngest permanent manager in the league's history when he was announced by the club. Pressure was a small word to describe his situation, but the German took to the job well. A strong start gave him confidence, but they lost their way in the middle of the campaign. Brighton's style of play was impressive, with many exciting youngsters making their mark.
They recovered well towards the back end of the last season to finish eighth. In his second campaign, Hurzeler would be expecting consistency with experience under his belt now. Having lost João Pedro to Chelsea, they will bank on Danny Welbeck and the new signing, the highly-rated Charalampos Kostoulas. Diego Coppola, Oliver Boscagli and Maxim De Cuyper all bolster the defence. They can expect a European spot if they can maintain their style of play with some emphasis on game management.
Fulham, on the other hand, were a tough side to play in the Premier League. After years of being a yo-yo club, they finally found consistency and became a midtable club thanks to Marco Silva. They even earned the tag of unplayable on their day due to their intense and physical play style. They were in contention for a European spot but didn't have enough gas to finish the job.
Fulham did well to hold onto Silva despite interest from abroad last season. He was even wanted by Spurs at one point. They are yet to dip into the transfer market this term and are not expected to make massive business. With limited resources at his disposal, he needs to produce a masterful season if they hope to achieve European football.
