We asked for your views on Brighton's chances of qualifying for European football this season, with just four fixtures left for Fabian Hurzeler's side to stake their claim.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Charlie: Who knows, only time will tell! I am confident though, as we have a good run-in and a good group of lads. The morale is high and we are playing beautiful football at this point in time. We can only hope and pray but I believe we can make it over the line.

David: We have a group of players who are capable of beating any Premier League team, plus three of our four remaining games are against teams below us in the table. The positive goal difference may well be worth an extra point too. So yes, we will qualify for Europe for next season.

Julian: Brighton have a propensity for drawing with teams they should be beating, if you look at our results against the bottom three. But, if they can beat Newcastle this Saturday, I am optimistic they will do enough to qualify for Europe at some level.

Daniel: I've been trying not to focus on the table but take it game-by-game, although, I'm starting to get excited now. I'm dreaming of us getting Champions League, if Aston Villa win the Europa League.

Andrew: I would be very pleased with qualifying for the Conference League. I've heard too many warnings recently that makes me think we would need to invest in the squad, so surely the Champions League would leave our finances on a knife-edge. There are several former Premier League teams in the lower leagues who tried to fly with the gods.

Brighton and Hove Albion say their plans for Europe's first purpose-built women's football stadium, announced on Tuesday, will "provide a permanent home and identity for the women's team" in an attempt to drive long-term fan growth.

Located at Bennett's Field, a site adjacent to the Amex Stadium - the home of Brighton's Premier League side - and costing cost £75-80m, it will hold an initial capacity of 10,000 and will be connected to the Amex via a bridge walkway.

With work under way on a planning application, the club hope to officially open the stadium for the start of the 2030-31 season.

Not only are ups and downs going to be happening at breakneck speed at the bottom of the table, don't be surprised if that happens into the final day with Arsenal and Man City slugging it out at the top.

It will happen in the race for the European places too.

When there are currently only four points between seven teams fighting for those spots, a one-point swing would be incredible but there will be bigger swings than that every week.

As we saw this weekend, everything can change in 10 minutes, making predictions futile.

But having said that, I reckon Brighton might just have enough to get to sixth. They have the momentum which is vital at this time.
