Team news

Brighton
Albion defenders Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy and Adam Webster are all out. Adam Lallana could feature and Leandro Trossard is fit. The club has also reported some positive Covid cases.

Wolves
Raul Jimenez is suspended while Yerson Mosquera, Jonny Castro, Bruno Jordao and Pedro Neto remain out.

Match preview

Six weeks have passed since a Wolves player other than Raul Jimenez scored for the club, so Old Gold diehards will be seriously miffed that the Mexican sits out the trip to a Brighton side in the midst of a defensive crisis.

Albion, minus Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Adam Webster and a fair few others, are there for the taking, but punters are left wondering whether Wolves, toothless at the best of times, can punish Graham Potter's men without their suspended top scorer.

Only Norwich have scored fewer goals this season than these mid-table units, who are both well organised in retreat but limited going forward.

Wolves are hard to fancy having failed to score in four games, albeit the last two of those were against Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Seagulls, who have had a break after their weekend postponement, are without a win in ten and have already drawn eight times this season.

Key stat

Thirteen of Wolves' 16 games this season have produced two goals or fewer.
