Brighton's impressive start to the Premier League season has sparked debate over their title credentials. BBC Sport asks whether the free-scoring Seagulls are genuine title contenders, while another BBC piece wonders why not, describing their form as 'breathtaking'.

Sports Mole also raises the question, arguing that early-season statistics and the eye test suggest Fabian Hurzeler's side could challenge the established order this term.
