The week ahead: Carabao Cup, PL2 and Premier League action

Tuesday 27th August: Bristol Rovers v Albion, kick-off 7.45pm

Albion begin their Carabao Cup campaign at the second round stage with a match against Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night.

The Seagulls enter the tournament as one of 13 Premier League clubs not participating in European competition, alongside Cardiff City and Fulham from the Championship.

The game will see Albion make their first trip to the Memorial Stadium since February 2011, when Glenn Murray was on the scoresheet in a 4-2 victory on route to securing a League One title triumph.

Tickets for the game are available on general sale now, with terrace standing tickets priced at £10 for adults and £5 for over-65s and under-16s. Seated tickets are priced at £15 for adults and £7 for over-65s and under-16s.

Friday 30th August: Albion under-23s v Blackburn Rovers under-23s, kick-off 7pm

Simon Rusk’s side are back in action at the Amex against Blackburn Rovers on Friday night.

Albion have picked up six points from their opening three matches in Premier League 2 Division 1, which includes a 2-0 opening day victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers and an impressive 3-0 win away at Leicester City. A narrow 2-1 defeat away at last season’s runners-up Arsenal was sandwiched in between those two results.

Albion season ticket holders can gain free entry to this game, but must book their tickets in advance. Otherwise prices for non season ticket holders are set at £5 for adults and £2 for over-65s and under-16s.

Saturday 31st August: Manchester City v Albion, kick-off 3pm

The final Albion action of the week takes place at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, when Potter’s side take on reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Seagulls head into the match with one win, one draw and one defeat from their first three games, while City have seven points out of a possible nine following a 3-1 win away at AFC Bournemouth on Sunday.

The club has now sold out its allocation for this match.
