Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest
While Brighton are easing into control, it's worth looking at their goal output. Brighton have been indebted to Pedro, Adingra, and Ferguson. Pedro is the club's top scorer with eight goals, followed by Adingra and Ferguson with six each. Can they carry the load in the Brazilians absence?

EXCELLENT SAVE SELS! It was one you'd expect him to make, yet from the right sided free kick, Gross whips it in and Moder heads powefully. Sels is reactive and adeptly punches it away. The resulting corner is cleared too. Brighton are in the early ascendency.

Foul on Wood now. Dunk steps across the Kiwi as he looks to break away after consummate Seagulls' pressure. It was sly to stop the play like that, and it's a foul the England defender has done many a-time no doubt.

Brighton growing in confidence now, and Baleba cuts in from a determined middle-right drive. He bends his left footed strike just past the post - yet Sels was full stretch to cover his bottom right. Worth a go.

First real shot from Brighton. Adingra curls one, but Sels is hardly tested. An easy claim.

Foul by Wood on Adingra. The youngster who shone at AFCON with the Ivory Coast makes a darting drive through midfield and Wood plays an experienced foul. Brighton float the free kick in, yet it's a relatively routine headed clearance for the away side.

Composure from Dunk here! Origi surges down the right with great power and gets a cross over. Dunk is there and chests it calmly to his goalkeeper Verbruggen. Safe.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest
When the two sides last met in Premier League action, Brighton came out on top 3-2 at The City Ground in November. Joao Pedro led the Seagulls with two goals, scoring in the 49th and 58th minute. Ferguson also was on target. Elanga and Gibbs-White were on the scoresheet for Forest. With no Pedro today, will it be a different story?
