Despite losing 3-2 away at Chelsea at the weekend, there were plenty of positives for Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi as his side dominated play for huge chunks of the second half and pushed for an equalizer right to the very end. Ultimately a lack of sharpness in the find third cost them dearly and the Seagulls have now won just one of their last eight Premier League games.
Injuries have also played a part in this poor run of results for Brighton who will still be without influential players in Lewis Dunk, Solly March, Danny Welbeck and Pervis Estupinan. This should provide plenty of encouragement for Brentford who have won four of their last six EPL games. The Bees, who also have a lengthy unjust list, claimed a comfortable 3-1 win over Luton Town at the weekend and will carry a serious goal threat in Cameroon striker Bryan Mbeumo, who has been exceptional all season.
Here's how they line up:
Brighton XI: Steele; Gross, Van Hecke, Igor, Hinshelwood; Baleba, Gilmour; Buonanotte, Adingra, Mitoma; Pedro.
Subs: Verbruggen, Milner, Moder, Ferguson, Veltman, Baker-Boaitey, Kavanagh, Barrington, O'Mahony.
Brentford XI: Flekken; Roerslev, Pinnock, Mee, Janelt; Onyeka, Baptiste, Yarmoliuk; Mbeumo, Maupay, Ghoddos.
Subs: Strakosha, Goode, Wissa, Zanka, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard, Peart-Harris, Olakigbe, Adedokun.
