Given we have a break in league games for the international games and there are no games to discuss this weekend, I'll ask a different question: do you guys see any potential dark horse this season, i.e. a team that people do not expect too much from, but can turn up surprising everyone e.g. by ending up in the top 4 etc?
Could Brighton be such team? So far, they recorded an easy win over Everton, a win against Man United and scored a point against Arsenal in an away game, which currently places them in the 3rd place. They also crushed Crawley Town (a League One team) 4-0 in an EFL Cup game.
Their manager, Fabian Hurzeler, got nominated for the Manager of the Month award.
Your question is a good discussion point to engage people on the thread as they give their different opinions about the subject matter. Though we've witnessed just three league games this season in the English Premier League but if there's any dark horse that is very likely to surprise us this season, I think it'll be no other team but Brighton. They're being considered as an average team in the league but they're yet to concede a defeat and to think that they've already played against big teams like Manchester United and Arsenal still were able to remain unbeaten tells that they'll be a strong team to face for any of the other 19 clubs in the league.
Fabian Hurzeler have been exceptionally impressive with his tactical approaches with the Brighton team and I believe he'll continue to improve as they play more matches.
