Brighton will be hoping to pick up where they left off when they return to action this weekend.

Prior to the extended international break, the Seagulls were last seen putting Premier League champions Arsenal to the sword in a devastating 3-0 victory.

The success capped off a fine September for the Seagulls, which included a 5-0 thumping of Coventry City and a 3-2 comeback victory against Manchester United.

As such, any team facing Brighton at present will be wary of the threats they possess. However, Sunderland reporter and fan Connor Bromley believes that Regis Le Bris’ side aren’t to be underestimated.
