Brighton can move back into the Premier League’s top four with a win at Fulham on Wednesday night.
The Seagulls have had a superb start under new head coach Fabian Hurzeler, who became the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history in the summer.
After impressive wins over Bournemouth and Manchester City, Brighton were frustrated last time out. Hurzeler’s side were held at home to struggling Southampton with the Saints unfortunate not to claim all three points after a contentious late VAR decision.
