A good omen for Fulham ahead of the contest as they've never tasted defeat in their previous seven meetings with Brighton, including the 1-1 draw between the sides earlier this season.

Brighton have made seven changes to the side that was beaten during the week by Wolves in the FA Cup. Steele, Van Hecke, Dunk and Estupinan are the only players that remain from the loss. Veltman, Lamptey, Webster and Balepa come into the team at the back and in the midfield respectively. De Zerbi completely alters his side in the final third as Ferguson returns to spearhead the attack and is flanked by Enciso and Lallana.

Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton left it late to earn a point against Everton in their last Premier League outing. Lewis Dunk scored a late header to earn the Seagulls a share of the spoil at the Amex Stadium. Roberto De Zerbi's men failed to carry that resilience into their FA Cup clash with Wolves during the week, suffering a 1-0 loss at Molineux. With one eye on their Europa League showdown with Roma next week, Brighton will have to be at their best to avoid defeat today.
Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Fulham have distanced themselves from the relegation zone with two wins in their last three. The Cottagers snatched three points at the death against Manchester United courtesy of Alex Iwobi's stoppage-time strike. Marco Silva's men were beaten in their last home game against Aston Villa, but did beat Bournemouth in their previous match at the Cottage with a convincing 3-1 win. Another victory would carry them within striking distance of the top half.
