Brighton's Joao Pedro and Tariq Lamptey doubts for final league game vs. Tottenham
Joao Pedro and Tariq Lamptey are doubts for Brighton & Hove Albion's final match of the season at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Joao Pedro missed Monday's 3-2 home win over Liverpool at the Amex Stadium for personal reasons. Lamptey was also ruled out of the match by injury. 'We have to see,' said head coach Fabian Hurzeler speaking to reporters afterwards. Advertisement 'T (Lamptey) has an injury with his knee and Joao had private reasons why he was not available. 'So, let's see how it is going to continue.' Joao Pedro also missed the previous three games through suspension following a red card for violent conduct in the 4-2 defeat at Brentford last month. The Brazilian forward is Brighton's joint top scorer this season with Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck on ten goals. The 23-year-old penalties specialist has 30 goals in 70 appearances overall since a £30 million move from Watford in June 2023. The future of Lamptey is unclear, as he is out of contract in June. The 24-year-old right-back, signed from Chelsea in January 2020, has been limited to ten league starts this season by injuries and competition for places. Equalisers by Yasin Ayari and substitute Mitoma against Liverpool and a late winner off the bench from Jack Hinshelwood kept Brighton on course to finish eighth, which could lead to qualification to the Europa Conference League. That depends on remaining eighth in the table, Chelsea dropping out of the Champions League places to seventh and then winning their Europa Conference League final against Real Betis in Poland on May 28.

Wieffer targets Europe - as he explains plan which tamed Wolves
Mats Wieffer is eyeing a return to European competition – after helping keep Albion firmly in the hunt. The Holland midfielder stood out in a tailor-made right-back role as his side won 2-0 at Wolves. They made the most of defeats for Bournemouth and Fulham in the race for an eight-place finish which could secure a UEFA ticket. Wieffer said: 'It is not in our own hands. We have two tough games. 'Of course, it is really motivating. 'The other guys played there with Brighton and said it is amazing to play for this club in European football. 'I also played European football before. MATS WIEFFER TOPS OUR PLAYER RATINGS 'It is always nice to play in Europe against different clubs so everyone is motivated to reach it again.' Wieffer did an effective marking job on Wolves threat Matheus Cunha while, ahead of him, recalled Tariq Lamptey kept a close eye on Rayan Ait-Nouri. He added: 'I think especially in the first half that worked well. 'The penalty was also one moment when it worked well. 'Ait Nouri and Cunha are a threat. The left side is a good side for them, they always like to make one-twos and they are dangerous.'

Chelsea must control 'focal point' Welbeck and 'pacy' Lamptey
Former Brighton and Chelsea defender Gary Chivers says "target man" Danny Welbeck and "superb" Tariq Lamptey impressed in Brighton's FA Cup fourth-round win over the Blues, adding that Enzo Maresca should be looking out for the two in-form players when the Blues travel to Amex Stadium for the second time in a week. Speaking on BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast, Chivers said: "They have an experienced player in Danny Welbeck. He knows where to run, when to hold the ball up and when to give it. "Long may he stay fit because a fit Welbeck, playing at his peak, is brilliant for Brighton. He is the target man, he knows the game inside and out, and he brings players into the game. He is the focal point. "Joao Pedro likes to drop off between the midfield and forward positions, but with Danny Welbeck you know that you can hit something long and he will hold it up and challenge for the ball. We do ever so well with Welbeck in the side. "Tariq Lamptey gave Malo Gusto a hell of a roasting. It looked like he had a point to prove. "He has got so much pace as well. He was just running riot every time he got the ball. Whether he went inside or outside, he put some lovely balls in the box. "He just looked a danger every time and he was a threat all game. I thought he was superb." Listen to the full podcast on BBC Sounds

The grass is not always greener...
What was the most impressive thing about Brighton knocking Chelsea out of the FA Cup?Some would say the Albion bouncing back from their heaviest league defeat in 57 years seven days earlier.

And it was treatment all three deserved thanks to the classless manner in which they left forced through his transfer before saying it had been his dream to play for Chelsea - despite his publicly stated dream having always been to play for Caicedo demanded a move to the club he supported as a boy, seemingly forgetting his love of Manchester United was already all over the meanwhile, burned his bridges before Chelsea came calling by throwing his toys out of the pram when replaced as Brighton number one by Jason that Albion fan reaction with the reception Alexis Mac Allister gets whenever Liverpool play Brighton.
