As things stand, just six points separate fifth place from 17th, and it's looking impossible to predict how the next few months will play out. Brighton have made a solid start to the season under Graham Potter, and are sitting in 11th with 15 points. Here's how the Seagulls rank in Sky Bet's odds for securing a top half finish to the campaign.
9. Sheffield United - 15/8
They've stunned a host of high-profile pundits with their strong start to the season. Chris Wilder's side will be secretly targeting more than simply avoiding relegation, one would imagine.
10. Brighton & Hove Albion - 7/4
It's a big ask, but if the likes of Neal Maupay can start firing on all cylinders, the Seagulls are more than up to the challenge of securing a top half finish.
11. Bournemouth - 6/4
Eddie Howe has patiently built an excellent squad of players, but with one win in five he'll be eager for them to kick on after the international break.
12. Everton - 4/6
The Toffees still haven't recovered from their atrociously squandered 'Romelu Lukaku Millions' under Ronald Koeman. A top half finish this season should be do-able, though.
