Brighton & Hove Albion host Brentford in a Premier League clash on Friday, as both teams look to bounce back from recent poor performances.
Brighton have gone five games without a win, including a 3-1 home defeat to rivals Crystal Palace. They occupy 10th place in the standings, six points behind the top four.
Brentford, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five matches and are 12th, with the lowest away points total in the league this season.
Danny Welbeck has fitness issues and has missed the last two games. Mats Wieffer picked up a knock last week but Jack Hinshelwood and Ferdi Kadioglu could return. Solly March is back in full training after a long-term knee injury.
Brentford have a long injury list, with defenders Kristoffer Ajer and Ethan Pinnock out until 2025. Mads Roerslev is expected to be fit after a head injury, while Sepp van den Berg is also in contention.
