Ahead of today’s Premier League match versus Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium, I have done a Q&A with another one of their supporters. Thank you to Eddie for answering the questions! Today’s referee is Christopher Kavanagh and the kick-off is at 12:30, live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate.

How long have you supported Brighton & Hove Albion?

Since I was 4 years old. 14 now.

What are your hopes and expectations for the 2024/25 season?

A cup. Maybe the Carabao Cup or European qualification.

What do you think of your manager?

think that Fabian Hurzeler is a very knowledgeable, competent boss who can lead us to great things.

Style of play and tactics – direct/passing/hybrid?

Fabian tends to play a solid back line that can be lethal on the attack. He tends to play irregular formations.

One(s) to watch now and in the future?

Yankuba Minteh can definitely be one for the future. He has massive potential to be one of the best wingers in the Premier League.

Random fact about your Club?

Brighton used to be known as The Dolphins.

The club wasn’t always known as the Seagulls. This nickname was adopted in the 1970s as a response to Crystal Palace, who are known as the Eagles. This was a symbolic move to establish a unique identity and a nod to the seaside location of Brighton.

Which were your favourite and least favourite matches involving Brighton & Hove Albion?

My favourite match was the game we qualified for Europe against Man City, confirming Europa League qualification.

My least favourite had to be losing to Palace in the playoffs.

Which sides do you think will finish in the top six and bottom three?

1. Arsenal, 2. Manchester United, 3. Aston Villa, 4. Liverpool,5. Brighton and 6. Spurs.

18. Southampton, 19. Ipswich, 20. Man City (FFP).

What are your views on Arsenal?

I think Arsenal are a side who have big potential but never quite reach it. I think that this year will be their year.

If you could steal one Arsenal player for your team, who would it be and why?

If I could steal one Arsenal player, it would be Bukayo Saka, solely for his playmaking ability and how versatile he is.

What are your views on your summer transfer business?

To be honest, I think we have overspent this summer when trying to improve squad depth, but the signings could be worth it and will come in handy should we qualify for Europe.

What is your prediction for this match?

My prediction is 3-3 and Brighton’s and Srsenal’s unbeaten starts continue.
