Brightonvs.Bournemouth

Goalkeeper Jason Steele is not scheduled to return to action until the middle of next month as a result of a shoulder injury, so expect Bart Verbruggen to continue between the posts.

Hurzeler will once again have to contend with the absences of centre-backs Lewis Dunk and Igor, though the latter is not likely to feature until June at the earliest due to a thigh issue.

Adam Webster and Jan Paul van Hecke started against Southampton on Saturday, and they may be chosen in the heart of defence once again.

Jack Hinshelwood is likely to play on the right side of a back four, but while Tariq Lamptey performed excellently as a left-back, he has frequently been beset by injury issues, so perhaps Pervis Estupinan will come into the XI given alternative full-back Ferdi Kadioglu is injured.

In midfield, Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari are the most probable candidates to appear in a double pivot, though James Milner continues to be sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Brighton's attack picks itself given their good form, with Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter, Kaoru Mitoma and Joao Pedro set to start up front.

Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup: Verbruggen; Hinshelwood, Webster, Van Hecke, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Pedro
