ALBION LINEUP: Verbruggen, Hadjam, Boscagli, Svoboda, Costinha, O'Riley, Yalcouye, Hinshelwood, Gross, Osman, Georginio

Albion return to Conference League football with a spring in their step after the historic victory over Palace last weekend. Brighton have rotated their side this afternoon, making eight changes in the process.

Sevilla released a statement yesterday regarding the fact that, as a result of the ongoing construction works at Estadio Coliseum, Getafe hadn't allocated them any away tickets for a La Liga fixture that takes place just 4 days before The Albion's trip to Madrid. However, this will NOT affect the Conference League fixture on Thursday 5th November, and here's why. 

-La Liga's 'Grada Visitante' ('Visiting Stand') rules, which allows for a minimum allocation as well as a €30 (~£25) ticket cap, is an optional agreement between each club and the governing body, Getafe have simply opted-out of the agreement and aren't under any obligation to provide away tickets

What an incredibly historic today, as it marks 125 years of Brighton and Hove Albion. 

The Seagulls take on Arsenal in a huge game for both sides shortly before the international break. This game could go either way, but one thing is for sure, it is expected to be a special atmosphere. 

It feels hard to determine what type of Albion side will be put out this evening. Will we focus on the Conference League, or go all in for the Carabao Cup too?

While it is a chance to win a trophy, it does require a lot of squad depth!

Evenly contested first half that Brighton have definitely edged. Babis Kostoulas with a razor sharp finish to separate the two sides. 

Coventry have had their opportunities and won a fair few second balls, so the Albion will have to be careful in the second half. Bart Verbruggen pulled off a handful of quality saves.

Brighton are unchanged from their 1-1 draw against Leeds last week. 🚨

Starting 11: Verbruggen, Boscagli, Dunk, Vuskovic, Kadioglu, Ayari, Gross, De Cuyper, Yalcouye, Gomez, Kostoulas 🔵⚪️

Sky Sports are reporting that Yankuba Minteh will remain at the club now, as no deal has progressed with Liverpool. 

Earlier today, it was suggested that the Reds would reignite their interest in the Gambian winger, but considering the stage of the window, a move would feel very tight.

Fabian Hürzeler has been speaking in his press conference, and it is mostly good news, plus a lack of natural striker. 

•⁠ ⁠Georginio will be assessed

Brighton are reportedly close to finalising a deal with Cali for Matías Orozco, a talented 18-year-old South American midfielder. 

The deal is believed to be worth €4.8 million plus bonuses! It is expected he will go out on loan when he arrives.

Well, this is the craziest rumour to come out for some time.

A link for Solly March to Crystal Palace seems insane, but that is exactly what the BBC are reporting this afternoon.
