Since ending 2023 with a 4-2 crushing of Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion have followed a peculiar attacking pattern of one goal-laden display followed by a scoreless outing, complementing 0-0 draws with West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers with FA Cup thrashings of Stoke City and Sheffield United.
