Brighton vs Wolves Preview: Premier League Clash on May 9, 2026

Brighton host Wolves at Amex Stadium on 9 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 36. Brighton arrive in 8th place on 50 points with a goal difference of 7, while Wolves sit 20th on 18 points and a goal difference of -38, currently in the relegation zone.

Brighton Availability

Brighton face several midfield and attacking concerns.

• D. Gomez (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• S. Tzimas (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• A. Webster (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• S. March (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
• J. Milner (Injury) is doubtful.
• M. Wieffer (Injury) is doubtful.

Top scorer D. Welbeck, with 13 league goals and 1 assist, is available and expected to lead the line despite Brighton’s absences in deeper areas and out wide.

Wolves Availability

Wolves also have notable issues, particularly in goal and attack.

• L. Chiwome (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• E. Gonzalez (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• S. Johnstone (Knock) is sidelined.
• L. Krejci (Neck Injury) is doubtful.
• J. Sa (Ankle Injury) is doubtful.

With both senior goalkeepers affected (Johnstone sidelined and Sa doubtful), Wolves’ defensive stability could be tested against a Brighton side that has scored 49 league goals.

Impact Summary

Brighton’s main attacking output remains intact through D. Welbeck, but the loss and doubts around creative and wide options may reduce their fluidity. Wolves, already struggling with just 25 goals scored and 63 conceded, risk further decline if their first-choice goalkeeper cannot feature, placing additional pressure on a low-scoring attack.
