Team News

Brentford
Brighton
  • Gustavo Nunes made his first Brentford appearance following his arrival last summer at Arsenal last week and he'll hope for more minutes here.
  • The Brazilian may have to settle for a spot on the bench again, however, with Thomas Frank potentially opting for an unchanged XI for this one.
  • Igor Thiago, Fabio Carvalho, Aaron Hickey and Josh Dasilva continue to miss out.
  • Jan Paul van Hecke returns from a ban, with Carlos Baleba expected to push back into midfield for Saturday's trip to Brentford.
  • Danny Welbeck may be the man to make way for Van Hecke, with Joao Pedro in line to lead the charge.
  • Kaoru Mitoma missed the 2-2 draw with Leicester and will be assessed, while a further eight players continue to miss out.

Prediction

  • Brentford's 1-1 draw with Arsenal last week extended the Bees' winless run to three matches, while Thomas Frank's side have now won just one of their last six. They haven't won a home game in any competition since a 4-2 win over Newcastle in early December.
  • Brighton wasted a great chance to return to winning ways as they could only manage a draw with lowly Leicester on home turf last week. The Seagulls are now winless in five in all competitions and have failed to win their last two on the road.
  • With both sides in sub-par form, a share of the spoils is likely this weekend.
