Fulham make three changes from the side that beat Cardiff for their visit to Brighton.

Ryan Fredericks and Tim Ream start in the full-back positions, replacing Michael Madl and Luke Garbutt, with Richard Stearman shifting across to centre-back.

Rohan Ince, on loan from Brighton, is ineligible, so Jamie O’Hara takes his place in what appears to be a diamond midfield.

Scott Parker will play the holding role, with Emerson Hyndman – match-winner against Cardiff – at the apex.

Brighton, unbeaten in nine matches and chasing promotion to the Premier League, have made two alterations

Anthony Knockaert comes in for Kazenga LuaLua while Manchester United loanee James Wilson returns at the expense of Jamie Murphy.

Their side includes former Fulham players David Stockdale and Liam Rosenior, while Steve Sidwell is on the bench.

Brighton: Stockdale; Bruno, Dunk, Goldson, Rosenior; Knockaert, Stephens, Kayal, Skalak; Hemed, Wilson.
Subs: Maenpaa, Greer, Bong, Sidwell, LuaLua, Murphy, Baldock.

Fulham: Bettinelli; Fredericks, Stearman, Amorebieta, Ream; Parker; Tunnicliffe, O’Hara; Hyndman; McCormack, Dembele.
Subs: Lonergan, Richards, Garbutt, Baird, Christensen, Woodrow, Smith.
