Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Fulham in the Premier League today.

Fulham’s top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic was absent for his side’s clash with Brighton due to a “minor injury”. The Serbia striker, who has hit 11 of the Cottagers’ 34 Premier League goals this term, was replaced by Harry Wilson.

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.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

Brighton's corner is fired straight over the top and March recovers the ball on the left wing. He cuts inside to cross from the byline, but the ball takes a nick off Tete and sails into Leno's grasp.

Mitoma's throughball puts Lamptey into a hole down the left, but his threatening ball to the back post is knocked behind by Diop for another Brighton corner.

Play halts as Robinson is down in his own half, and the left-back receives lengthy treatment before returning to his feet.

OVER!!! Good play down the right from Brighton allows Caicedo to tee up Lamptey on the edge of the area, and the substitute's first touch sees him curl a first-time effort just over the crossbar!

Mitoma takes on Tete once more and gets around the outside before cutting back in. He goes down under pressure in the box following Tete's challenge, but the referee waves away any shouts for a penalty!

SAVED!!! March, playing down the left in this half, races down that channel and whips a threatening ball into the box. It's volleyed goalwards at the front post by Mac Allister, but Leno makes a huge save to push it away, and the 20-yard follow up from Caicedo is dragged wide!!
