    In terms of the Toney v Mitoma (c) debate, are Brighton in better form than Brentford? They pumped West Ham last week and look like a really slick side. I'm not convinced with Brentford away from home.

      As a fellow totally non biased Mitoma captainer, I think Brighton are in slightly better attacking form, better overall attacking team (although that might translate in more different scorers), and I can see being easier to score vs Leeds and Palace at home vs Toney's both away game, one vs Everton which will probably be usual Dyche borefest.
      Also, extra point for cs and goal are not to be sniffed at

      Toney's returns are the same both home and away (apparently), so I wouldn't focus on the fact the Brentford fixtures are away. I've been on Mitoma but as deadline gets closer my head is telling me Toney

        It is a close call. Toney got 1 point at home to SOU a couple of weeks ago and my gut is telling me BRE might struggle in their two games.
