Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi reveals Julio Enciso will be sidelined for a long period; Evan Ferguson to lead the line against West Ham; Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March in red-hot form; watch Brighton vs West Ham on Sky Sports Premier League from 5pm this Saturday; kick-off 5.30pm
De Zerbi holds nothing back when it comes to heaping praise on his rising star:"I think he's one of the best players in the world at 1vs1s."
Speaking in his press conference, De Zerbi revealed the former will lead the line against West Ham on Saturday, while the latter will be unavailable for a"long period" through injury.Ferguson oozes stature, power and prowess unparalleled for his age, while Enciso ranks among the very elite in his age group across Europe for dribbling ability and creativity.
Going into the weekend, Brighton had scored nearly twice as many goals as any other team and topped the rankings across a raft of statistics, included expected goals, assists and high turnovers leading to shots. "They understand the intensity of the opponent pressure. They understand the line pass. I give instructions but, on the pitch, they understand they have to make decisions, for sure."
Pressing high is all the rage and Brighton are frightfully effective at turnovers in the final third, usually using a zonal one-man press to harry opponents as they attempt to build from the back.
