Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Jason Steele, Igor, James Milner, Adam Webster, Georginio Rutter and Ferdi Kadioglu continue to be sidelined for the Seagulls. Jan Paul van Hecke was stretchered off last week and will be rested, while Joao Pedro will serve a suspension.

Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville are nursing injuries, while on-loan striker Evan Ferguson is ineligible to face his parent club. Aaron Wan-Bssaka and Edson Alvarez face late fitness tests.
