The odds on Brighton to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League have been slashed from 6/5 to 5/6 with Unibet, and frankly the Seagulls have earned every bit of that cut.
Five of ten bookmakers have cut their odds on Brighton to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League.

Brighton played out a goalless draw against Getafe in the Conference League.
Top-four rivals Chelsea were beaten at home by Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, with Cole Palmer sent off in the second half.
Brighton's recent European outing was a goalless draw against Getafe in the Conference League, a stubborn result that at least kept a clean sheet intact. The bigger story for the top-four market, though, is what has been happening on the Premier League front. Chelsea, second in the betting order, stumbled at home against Tottenham on Saturday, with Mike Penders turning the ball into his own net and Mathys Tel finishing the job late on, a result that halted the Blues' two-match winning run and left a gap for the chasing pack.
Brighton's own engine room is filling back out at just the right moment. Winger Yankuba Minteh returned to full first-team training after an 11-week absence following pre-season ankle surgery, adding a direct outlet to an attack that will need every bit of firepower it can get. Fabian Hürzeler has also batted away talk linking him with Manchester United, insisting he is committed to the project at the Amex, so there is no off-field wobble to undermine the push for the top four. Put it all together, and the shortening of the odds on Brighton to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League makes sense: a direct rival dropping points, and a key attacking option back in the fold.

How big are the odds on Brighton to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League?
Arsenal are the favourites at a best price of 1/66 with Boyle Sports, so as far as the layers are concerned they are barely part of the conversation. The real fight is underneath them, where the Premier League odds have Chelsea and Liverpool ahead of Brighton, who sit fourth-shortest in the betting order. That gap is narrowing, and the timing is interesting: Liverpool host Brighton on Sunday with two first-teamers already ruled out, which makes the head-to-head between the third and fourth sides in the market a genuine swing fixture.
Arsenal – 1/66 with Boyle Sports, the overwhelming favourites.
Chelsea – 8/15 with Skybet, Paddy Power and Betfair Sportsbook, second in the betting order.
Liverpool – 5/6 with Bet365, without Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) and Jeremie Frimpong (muscle injury) for the visit of Brighton.
Brighton – 11/10 with Bet Victor, fourth-shortest after five of ten bookmakers cut their odds.

Can Brighton finish in the top 4 of the Premier League?
The next few days will tell us plenty. Brighton travel to Anfield to face Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, and with Minteh in contention for his first appearance of the season and Mats Wieffer back in training after a knee injury, Hürzeler has fresh width and engine room options to take the game to a Liverpool side missing Szoboszlai and Frimpong. A League Cup trip to Man City follows on Wednesday, so squad depth matters. Our prediction: the Brighton odds have come in for good reason, with the attacking options returning to the fold the kind of boost that can hurt anyone in this division. At 11/10 with Bet Victor there is still a sliver of value, but Anfield is a proper test of whether this move has legs.
