Brighton and Hove Albion have had a patchy start to their new Premier League campaign - here we take a look at who has shone and who has struggled for Albion so far this season
Graham Potter's men have six points from their first eight Premier League matches of the new campaign. There have been some encouraging signs but the problem has been converting the chances they are creating.
Ben White and Adam Lallana have been integrated in the team this season and summer arrival Danny Welbeck also made his first start of the campaign just before the international break in the 0-0 stalemate with Burnley.
Brighton will resume after the break away at Aston Villa on November 21 and then they welcome Liverpool to the Amex on November 28.

13. Pascal Gross 6.5/10
A few signs that Gross is getting back to his best form. On his day, a very effective player who is capable of picking the right pass. A nice assist for Lamptey's goal at Spurs and delivers a good ball from set piece situations. The German's experience is also very useful in a youthful Albion team.
14. Alexis Mac Allister 5/10
The Argentina international has yet to start a Premier League match this season. Much was expected from the former Boca Juniors No 10 and he will hope for more opportunities. Came off the bench and scored the leveller against Palace and also scored twice in the Carabao this season. Faces a battle to force his way into the starting XI.
15. Alireza Jahanbakhsh 5/10
A few glimmers of hope but once again a frustrating start to the season for the Iranian. Played well in the Carabao matches and was pushing hard for a starting role in the Premier League until a hamstring injury scuppered his progress. The 17m man could be available for Villa but may be used as an impact sub.
16. Neal Maupay 6/10
Four goals so far this season but a ruckus in the changing room after the West Brom draw saw him dropped for the Spurs match. Potter insists all is forgiven and Albion will need his goals if they are to pull themselves clear of the drop. He and Welbeck could be a promising combination up top.
