Brighton’s Hurzeler Under Pressure After 3-0 FA Cup Exit as Sack Odds Shorten

The club has made no decision as a prolonged slump now includes a winless league run since January and three straight defeats without a goal.

Overview

  • Brighton were beaten 3-0 at Liverpool in the FA Cup, extending their sequence to six matches without a win and three straight losses without scoring.
  • Multiple fans called for Fabian Hurzeler to be sacked or to resign on social media after the Anfield defeat.
  • One major bookmaker has reportedly installed Hurzeler as the favourite to be the next Premier League manager dismissed, pricing him at 4/5.
  • Yahoo’s analysis notes Brighton created chances at Anfield (17 shots, 1.22 xG) but lacked confidence and finishing, with Hurzeler insisting performances have been competitive despite results.
