Lewis Dunk looks set to miss out after suffering an ankle injury versus Manchester United, joining Bruno, Florin Andone and Jose Izquierdo in the treatment room.

Goalmouth action

Although he has now overseen consecutive victories over Manchester United, Chris Hughton's record against this opposition is far less impressive.

The former Norwich City boss has lost all five of his Premier League matches against the Reds, with his sides conceding at least four goals in every game - including nine over two encounters last season.

Having scored three goals but conceded twice last weekend, Brighton look set for yet another high-scoring clash against a home team that has scored 35 goals in their last 11 league fixtures in front of their own fans.
