da pinup bet： After a bright start to the season, the last minute equaliser scored by Blackpool caused some fans to start spitting their dummies. That’s how ridiculously quickly Brighton’s expectations have risen. Three wins out of four represents an excellent start to life back in the Championship, one that the club and Gus Poyet will be very satisfied with. Next up, the visit of Sunderland in the Carling Cup marks the next challenge for the Seagulls, and there will be plenty of optimism at the Amex.
da gbg bet： Sunderland, having lost the Tyne/Wear derby on Saturday, will be looking to bounce back, but they certainly won’t have things all their own way. As well as being without Craig Gordon, John O’Shea, David Meyler and Fraizer Campbell, the senseless sending off collected by Phil Bardsley means that he will be suspended.
With Ashley Barnes and Craig Mackail-Smith both in scoring form, and Will Buckley as well, Poyet has plenty of fire-power at his disposal. Buckley is questionable due to a hamstring tweak, as is striker Will Hoskins (hip), but there aren’t too many problems besides.
