Brighton are currently sitting third in the Premier League table, having taken 10 points from their opening five league games, and Saturday's 3-0 win over Arsenal has fan Maz Mirzadeh believing "something special is brewing" this season. Fabian Hurzeler's side suffered a 4-3 defeat by Chelsea in August but they have otherwise started the 2026-27 campaign in "magnificent" style, as stated by former Premier League players Jobi McAnuff and Alan Shearer.
