Valentín Barco was the eighth different teenager to start a Premier League match for Brighton under De Zerbi – this is now at least twice as many as any other club since the Italian’s first game in charge in October 2022.
In his 390th Premier League appearance, Man City’s Walker provided two assists in the same game for the first time in the competition.
Brighton have won only six of their last 27 Premier League matches (D11 L10) – since the start of this spell in September, only Burnley (5), Nott’m Forest (5), and Sheff Utd (3) have won fewer matches in the division.The release of the Premier League fixtures for the 2024/25 season has been confirmed to take place at 09:00 BST on Tuesday 18 June.
Dates for all 380 matches will be released at that time.
The 2024/25 season will consist of 33 weekends, four midweek rounds of matches and one Bank Holiday Matchweek.
The Premier League 2024/25 season dates have been confirmed, with the campaign starting on 17 August 2024, 90 days after the 2023/24 Premier League concludes on 19 May.
The final match round of the 2024/25 season will be played on 25 May 2025, when all matches will kick off simultaneously as usual.
In keeping with previous commitments made to clubs to address the congested schedule across Christmas and New Year, arrangements will be made to allow more rest time over three of the festive match rounds, with no club playing within 60 hours of another match. There will be no fixture on 24 December 2024.
