Evan Ferguson returned to lead Albion’s attack as sixth hosted seventh at the Amex Stadium. The Republic of Ireland striker, who has scored three goals in his last five top-flight outings, replaced Deniz Undav in the only change made by Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham
The early chances in this game have given way to something of a scrap, particularly in the middle of the park. Both midfields have been extremely busy and frantic in the last few minutes, but the defences of either side are yet to really be troubled.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham
Following their 2-1 win at Craven Cottage in August, Fulham are looking to complete their first league double over Brighton since 1992-93, which came in the third tier of the Football League!

Ream looks to clip a throughball for Robinson to chase, but the ball bounces off the back of the Fulham left-back and Brighton recover possession.

March dribbles into the area with options queuing up around the penalty spot, but Ream stands tall to win possession back and prevent the Seagulls cross coming in.

Mitoma and Wilson collide, leaving the Fulham winger on the deck in the centre circle. He's receiving treatment and should be okay to carry on, but heads off the field for further inspection before he can do so.

Another long pass has March searing after it, but Ream gets back in cover for Fulham and heads the ball back into the safety of Leno's gloves.

BLOCKED!!! Estupinan charges into open pasture and is found by a long diagonal ball. Dribbling into the box, he cuts inside and shoots, but Diop gets in the way to block the ball behind for a corner!
