Brighton arrive in Japan with a new man at the helm. At just 31 years old, Fabian Hurzeler is the youngest permanent head coach in Premier League history, but his career so far has shown plenty of promise. This will be the first opportunity Albion fans have had to see what style of football their team is likely to play under the former St Pauli manager, so all eyes will be on the National Stadium in Tokyo today.
Kashima Antlers are on a short break from the J-League season, but they come into this friendly in pretty good shape. Ranko Popović's side currently sit in third place in the table, equal on points with second-placed Gamba Osaka and just five off Machida Zelvia at the top. They've lost two of their last four fixtures, but recently went on an 11-game unbeaten run, so Brighton could be about to find out why they're known in Japan as "The Perennial Winners".
Here's how the teams line up:
Kashima Antlers XI: Hayakawa (GK); Sugai, Ueda, Sekigawa, Anzai; Misao, Shibasaki, Doi, Nakama; Morooka, Suzuki.
Brighton XI: Steele (GK); Lamptey, Van Hecke, Samuels; Milner, Baleba, Moran, Mitoma; Osman, Minteh, Welbeck.
