Sunderland vs Brighton: Preview
It doesn't get any easier for Sunderland as they return from the international break, with the visit of Brighton the latest in a string of devilishly difficult fixtures.
After a useful 1-1 draw away to a Brentford side who start this weekend fourth, the Black Cats faced the Premier League's two title favourites, losing 2-0 at home to Arsenal and then falling to a 5-3 defeat at Manchester City in which striker Brian Brobbey scored a hat-trick.
They return to action against Fabian Hurzeler's high-flying Seagulls, who dispatched the Gunners 3-0 before the break in arguably the most impressive performance of the season by any team so far.
Regis Le Bris' side will need to be on their game to improve their tally of four points from five matches, but they will be without Brobbey and defender Dan Ballard, who both suffered injuries on international duty.

Brighton will hope to take advantage of those two key absences for their opponents as they look to continue an excellent start to the campaign.
The Seagulls have claimed 10 points from five matches while dealing with injuries to several key forwards, including Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Jack Hinshelwood.
Hurzeler has continued to get a tune out of his side in their absence, with the likes of Pascal Gross and Charalampos Kostoulas stepping up. Both were on the scoresheet in the 3-0 win over Arsenal.
Brighton could be further boosted by the return from injury of several players for the near 700-mile round trip to Sunderland, with club captain Lewis Dunk and summer signing Femi Azeez - who is yet to make his debut - expected to be available.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Sunderland 1-2 Brighton
The Stadium of Light has been a tough place to go since Sunderland returned to the Premier League, but Brighton are in excellent form.
