Player to watch: Carlos Baleba
Carlos Baleba's form has fallen off a cliff for Brighton this season, with many people speculating that he has had his head turned about a prospective move to Manchester United. If Baleba continues to perform as he is, then his value will tank and he could also lose any interest he currently has in his services.
