De Zerbi made seven changes heading into this one with an eye on the trip to Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This defeat came after an FA Cup exit at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers and a 1-1 draw at home to Everton in the league, meaning the Seagulls have now gone three games without a goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/03\/05\/brighton-chelsea-de-zerbi-pochettino-klopp\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chelsea Identify \u2018Genius\u2019 As Mauricio Pochettino Replacement<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unsurprisingly, De Zerbi\u2019s side dominated possession in their trip to Rome, having 60% of the ball, a statistic familiar to Seagulls fans this season. But with top scorer Joao Pedro out with a thigh injury and Kaoru Mitoma potentially out for the season, this domination of matches is not translating to goals and results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Injuries and suspensions have plagued the Seagulls in recent weeks &#8211; and De Zerbi was without nine first-team players on the trip to Molineux just over a week ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brighton\u2019s last victory came in a thumping\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6GqYpytnE_M&amp;ab_channel=SkySportsPremierLeague\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5-0 defeat over Sheffield United<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and was Mitoma\u2019s last appearance before he was sidelined by his back injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This was the third of four home games in a row in which Sheffield United conceded five goals at Bramall Lane, the first being a 5-2 defeat against Albion in the FA Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As De Zerbi has searched for form and looked to manage Brighton\u2019s extensive injury list, he has chopped and changed between using a back three and back four, with his side often switching between the two throughout games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The South Coast side appeared to start with a back four in their Europa League clash, but Tariq Lamptey and Simon Adingra were fluid in their roles, often taking up wing-back positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Brighton Have Lined-up Recently<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Throughout the season, De Zerbi has continuously rotated between goalkeeper Jason Steele and Bart Verbruggen &#8211; with the Englishman starting the last three &#8211; the Brighton boss has potentially settled on who his number one is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke have been the regular centre-back pairing, with the Dutchman starting the last 19 in all competitions. There is constant rotation among the fullbacks, but former Chelsea youngster Lamptey has started the last six matches he has been available for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Billy Gilmour and Pascal Gro\u00df have been pivotal for Brighton in central midfield this season &#8211; but with Gilmour picking up a straight red card against Everton, he will serve the final game of his three-match domestic suspension this weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/17\/the-brighton-de-bruyne-pascal-gros-unsung-hero\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Brighton De Bruyne: The Numbers Behind De Zerbi\u2019s Unsung Hero<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">20-year-old Carlos Baleba started in the centre of the park against Fulham and replaced Gilmour late on in Rome, meaning he will likely get another opportunity in this game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brighton\u2019s attack has been boosted by the return of\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/articles\/cpw3g3j4906o\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Julio Enciso<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, who started his first match since August at Craven Cottage last weekend after recovering from a meniscus tear.
