Predicted Premier League table 2023-24: Data experts forecast Brighton, Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal finish after fixture release

Brighton continue their preparations for an historic season as they prepare for their first ever foray into the Europa League. It will prove a tough challenge for Brighton as Roberto De Zerbi balances the rigours of the Premier League and the Europa, alongside the FA Cup and the Carabao.

Brighton have already added to their squad as £30m Brazilian attacker Joao Pedro arrived in a £30m deal from Watford, while veteran James Milner joined on a free transfer after eight successful years at Liverpool. The duo will help cushion the blow of losing midfield star Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool and potentially Moises Caicedo – who continues to be linked with a move to Chelsea or Arsenal.

The fixtures for the new season were released today and Brighton will start their campaign with a home match against newly promoted Luton Town on Saturday, August 12. Their first away trip is to Wolves on August 19 and they finish the month against West Ham on August 26 at the Amex. The eagerly awaited clash with old rivals Crystal Palace is on December 23 at Selhurst Park, with the return fixture at the Amex on February 3. A full Albion fixture list can be found here.
