It is a difficult start to the season for Brighton with Chelsea first up and then Manchester United also in their opening month, but the saving grace is that both of those matches come at home.

An away trip to rivals Crystal Palace comes in their fifth league game of the season, with the return fixture coming in February - a month where they also travel to champions Liverpool.

It is a difficult end to the season too with Manchester City at home and Arsenal away in their final two games of the campaign.
