Two of the most exciting young football managers in the world go head-to-head this weekend as Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton host Kieran McKenna's Ipswich.
Hurzeler is just 31 years old and has players in his squad, like James Milner, who are significantly older than him, while McKenna at 38 is a rookie by age standards in the English top flight also.
Match Preview
Brighton Recent Form
Brighton have enjoyed an excellent start to the new campaign and are unbeaten in four games in all competitions.
They started with an impressive 3-0 away win at Everton and then, in their first home game, they dramatically beat Man Utd thanks to a last-minute header from Joao Pedro.
Hurzeler's charges emphatically progressed in the League Cup, beating Crawley 4-0, before impressively earning a 1-1 draw away at title challengers Arsenal.
Brighton Injury News
The main injury concern for Brighton surrounds star signing Matt O'Riley, who suffered an ankle injury minutes into his debut against Crawley. It came via a pretty needless, late tackle too.
There are fitness concerns over James Milner, Mats Wieffer, Ferdi Kadioglu and Joel Veltman, but none are serious and they could feature.
Brajan Gruda and Solly March are out.

McKenna's men have performed admirably enough in the league without many points to show for it.

Brighton - Player To Watch
Joao Pedro has been excellent for Brighton so far this season and has scored two key goals - the winner against Man Utd and an important equaliser versus Arsenal.
Ipswich - Player To Watch
Only two Ipswich players have scored in the league so far and Sammie Szmodics is one of them. A big-money signing from Blackburn in the summer, he's already looking like a good purchase from McKenna.
Brighton vs Ipswich - Prediction
The fixtures for the start of the season have been fairly unkind to Ipswich as they face another tough game here. McKenna's men have performed well enough but until they get than first win, things are going to be difficult and Brighton are playing with such an effervescent confidence that you can't see past them here.
