Zadok Yohanna Set for Brighton Debut Against Villa
Zadok Yohanna, a highly-rated young player, is poised to make his Premier League debut for Brighton & Hove Albion against Aston Villa at the Amex Stadium. The 2026-27 Premier League season is set to begin on August 21, with several Nigerian internationals participating.
Frank Onyeka's Coventry City will return to the Premier League with a match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on August 21, while Manchester United will open their campaign away at Hull City’s MKM Stadium on August 22. Semi Ajayi will also return to top-flight football, having previously played for West Bromwich Albion.
Other notable fixtures include Chuba Akpom's Ipswich Town facing Sunderland, and Nottingham Forest starting their campaign against Leeds United. Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina are expected to feature prominently, with Awoniyi looking to build on a strong end to the previous season and Aina aiming to regain full fitness after missing the last four matches of the last campaign.
