Bournemouth Prepares for Clash Against In-Form Brighton

Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion are set to face off this weekend at the Vitality Stadium in a crucial Premier League match that could significantly affect the standings. Bournemouth, currently in 12th position, will host Brighton, who find themselves in sixth place, aiming for a spot in the top four.

Fabian Hürzeler‘s Brighton arrives in high spirits after securing a 2-1 victory against reigning champions Manchester City. This win has been a highlight in Brighton’s Premier League campaign, bolstering their confidence as they challenge for European competition spots.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth, under the management of Andoni Iraola, also delivered a noteworthy performance against Manchester City earlier in the month. However, they were unable to maintain this momentum, falling 3-2 in their last outing against Brentford. With both teams having taken victories over the champions, anticipation for a competitive encounter is high.

The match kicks off at 3:00 PM GMT on November 23, 2024. This means a start time of 10:00 AM ET in the United States and Canada, and 2:00 AM AEDT on Sunday for viewers in Australia. Fans eagerly expect to see both teams in full force, with line-ups already announced, indicating strong sides from both camps.

Bournemouth will rely on goalkeeper Kepa, with defensive support from Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, and Kerkez. Their attack will be spearheaded by Evanilson, with creative duties falling to Semenyo, Kluivert, and Tavernier.

Brighton, under Hürzeler, will line up similarly, with Verbruggen in goal and a defense featuring Veltman, van Hecke, Igor Julio, and Estupiñán. Their offensive challenge will be led by Welbeck, supported by Rutter, João Pedro, and Mitoma.

The attending officials for this Premier League fixture are led by referee Stuart Attwell, with Graham Scott assisting as Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The match will be crucial for both teams, as they aim to either move higher up the table or solidify their mid-table positions.
