All eyes on Bethany England as we welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Brisbane Road in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday (11.55am UK).
Our captain has been a constant threat against the Seagulls throughout her career, netting eight goals in total against this weekend’s opponent – and four of those have come while wearing Lilywhite.
In fact, those four strikes have come in our last five meetings with the south coast side, and she will be looking to add that tally this weekend as we search for our first home win over Brighton since February, 2022 - drawing twice and losing in the previous three outings.
Despite the winless run at home, we pose a good record in the WSL against Brighton, having only lost once in our last seven clashes – winning three and drawing three.
Bethany also has an opportunity to create WSL history if she manages to score on Sunday as she can become the first WSL player to score 50 goals in home games – netting 49 in 92 games to date.

Match stats
We have lost only one of our last seven league meetings with Brighton and Hove Albion (W3 D3), though it was this fixture last season (0-1). Our biggest ever WSL win came against the Seagulls in October 2022, winning 8-0 away.
Brighton and Hove Albion lost each of their first three WSL away games against us but are unbeaten on three trips to face Spurs in the league since (W1 D2).
We have won three of our four matches in the WSL this season (L1), as many victories as across their previous 16 (D4 L9). In fact, we have only ever won four of our opening five games of a WSL campaign on one previous occasion (W4 L1 in 2021-22).
Brighton have won both of their last two games in the Women’s Super League and are looking to win three in a row in the competition for the first time since October/November 2021 – a run which included a 2-1 victory over us.
We have lost six of our last seven home games in the WSL (W1), while our six home defeats are the most of any side in the competition this calendar year. We also suffered our joint-heaviest defeat on home soil in the top-flight last time out, losing 1-5 to Manchester City.
Only Manchester United (3) have kept more clean sheets than both Brighton and us in the WSL this season (2 each). Meanwhile, following their 1-0 win over Everton last time out, the Seagulls are looking to record back-to-back shutouts in the competition for the first time since November 2021.
Bethany England could become the first player in Women’s Super League history to score 50 home goals, netting 49 in 92 to date. 10 of her 16 home goals for us have come at Brisbane Road, at least seven more than any other player.
Brighton's Michelle Agyemang scored her fourth goal in the Women's Super League on MD4 against Everton and the 19-year-old could now become the first teenager to score five times in the competition since Ebony Salmon for Bristol City in February 2020.
Olivia Holdt has scored in both of her last two matches in the WSL (two goals), more than she managed in her first 12 in the competition (1). Holdt could become just the third player to net in three in a row for us in the WSL, after Bethany England (twice) and Martha Thomas.
Rosa Kafaji has been directly involved in more goals than any other Brighton player in the WSL this season (3). Indeed, Kafaji’s three involvements have come across her last two league games (one goal, two assists), this after managing just one contribution in her first 11 in the competition (one goal).
