BOOKING FOR RUDIGER:
The German went in two footed there on Lamptey on the touchline, luckily he didnt make contact with him. That could have been red.

JAMES IN BOTHER:
James has gone with an injury and needs some treatment. It looks like me may have to be subbed. Christensen is back on the pitch and looks okay to continue.

TUCHEL NOTES:
The German is writing ferociously in his notebook. Brighton have looked good early doors. while his side have yet to find their rhythm.
