Brighton have been given a boost by the news that Carlos Baleba and Kaoru Mitoma are available again.

Both players were forced to sit out their 1-0 victory away at Sunderland last weekend.

With Mitoma absent, Diego Gomez was deployed on the right wing and Yankuba Minteh on the opposite side.

Discussing his options out wide, Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler told reporters: “For me, it’s great to have these three players at the moment available and in a great shape.

“That makes us in general more unpredictable, so we can change during the game, we can change in half-time, we can change with a sub. That makes us more flexible and therefore it’s competition.

“The competition is on, they have to fight for the places and then I’m also sure that we can really benefit from different skills, different weapons in each position.”

As it stands, Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster are the only Seagulls missing.
