How Brighton’s pressing, pushing, running makes them nightmare opponent

Brighton and Hove Albion's high-pressing tactical system under manager Fabian Hurzeler has caused significant problems for top Premier League sides, including Arsenal and Manchester United. Despite losing several key players over recent transfer windows, Brighton has successfully integrated new talent like teenage striker Charalampos Kostoulas and recalled midfielder Malick Yalcouye.

Hurzeler's defensive strategy utilizes a committed press involving the front three and midfield three to suffocate opponents during deep build-up play. This intense pressing system forces opposing defenders into risky passes or turnovers, as demonstrated by Arsenal's recent struggles and a Manchester United error in the Carabao Cup.
