Danny Welbeck has been named as skipper for the visit of Brentford to the Amex Stadium this afternoon (Saturday 22 November).
Georginio Rutter is down to tuck in behind him, flanked by Yankuba Minteh and Diego Gomez, with Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari in support.
Jan Paul van Hecke and Olivier Boscagli are at the heart of the defence with Mats Wieffer and Ferdi Kadioglu in front of Bart Verbruggen in goal.
Jack Hinshelwood and Brajan Gruda have recovered from injury and both are back on the bench this afternoon, along with club captain Lewis Dunk and Joel Veltman.
Reserve keeper Jason Steele has also been named as a sub along with Stefanos Tzimas, Charalampos Kostoulas, Diego Coppola and Maxim De Cuyper.
Albion head coach Fabian Hürzeler gave updates on his injured players, saying: “Solly March is getting really close. It’s only a question of two or three weeks maybe until we see him back.
“This will be exciting for me, for us, for him, to see him back in our group. He’s been out for a long time and we are all looking forward to having him back. Brajan Gruda is also an option.
“We still have Adam Webster and James Milner who will be out. James is out for the next two or three weeks. Adam is long term.
“With Kaoru (Mitoma), it’s not an easy thing to predict. In the last international break, I said it’s just a question of two or three weeks. But now he’s getting close.
“He has to handle the pain so it’s not a big issue. Everything is healed so he should be fine. We just have to see how he can handle the pain. When he will be back? I’m sure that it won’t take that long.”
Tom Watson is also out with an injury.
At the pre-match press conference, Hürzeler was asked what he was most proud of as he prepared for his 50th Premier League match as manager of Brighton.
He said: “I always emphasise that being the head coach of Brighton and Hove Albion is a privilege. I’m really proud to be head coach.
“I’m really proud to work with really good staff members, with really good experts that drive really good culture.
“I’m really privileged that I work with great leaders, with players who have great personalities, with a great group that really drives the togetherness, who tries to get better every day, no matter the circumstance, no matter how many adversities they face, they always try to stick together.
