As things stand, just six points separate fifth place from 17th, and it's looking impossible to predict how the next few months will play out. Brighton have made a solid start to the season under Graham Potter, and are sitting in 11th with 15 points. Here's how the Seagulls rank in Sky Bet's odds for securing a top half finish to the campaign.
1. Norwich City - 50/1
The Canaries have had all manner of injury problems this season, thwarting their attempts to play the dynamic football that saw them storm to promotion last season.
2. Watford - 9/1
A fairly massive jump in odds next to Norwich, Watford will be looking to turn things around after re-appointingQuique Snchez Flores as manager.
3. Southampton - 8/1
They were well and truly humiliated in their 9-0 home loss to Leicester City, and have a lot of work to do in order to secure a top half finish.
4. Newcastle United - 4/1
Steve Bruce was not a popular appointment over the summer, it's fair to say. Still, he's pulled off the odd credible result, and knows how to grind out a result.
