COMPOSED
Brighton are pinging the ball around nicely, playing out as they wish. Webster just gets away with a heavy touch under pressure from Wissa, as Brentford are looking to pick their moments to press.

AMBITIOUS
... attempt from Wissa, as he curls over and wide from a speculative distance.
6'
TACTICAL SWITCH-UP
Brighton are in more of a 4-4-2 shape, with Solly March as the right midfielder, ahead of Joel Veltman as the full-back. Pascal Gross is up top with Danny Welbeck, if not tucked slightly behind.

CLOSE!
The hosts aren't too far away as Ivan Toney drifts right and bends a nice cross into the box, and Onyeka nods over! A good early chance!

BRIGHTON TEAM ANALYSIS
Roberto de Zerbi names an unchanged line-up to the side that narrowly lost to Tottenham last week, as Robert Sanchez is once more protected by a back three of Joel Veltman, Lewis Dunk, and Adam Webster. Solly March and Pervis Estupinan will add thrust and guile down the flanks, with the tidy duo of Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister controlling things in the middle. Leandro Trossard and Pascal Gross are given free roles, able to roam and drift as they please behind lone striker Danny Welbeck.

BRENTFORD TEAM ANALYSIS
It's a 4-3-3 for Thomas Frank, as he recalls Yoanne Wissa to the starting 11. Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbuemo are the mainstays in the frontline, with the former the obvious target man, and the Frenchman the pacey inside forward looking to make use of the Englishman's flick-ons. David Raya starts in goal, shielded by Ethan Pinnock and Ben Mee, with Kristoffer Ajer and Rico Henry wider. Aaron Hickey is absent, as too is Christian Norgaard.
Frank Onyeka gets a rare start in the engine room, with Vitaly Janelt the sitter and Mathias Jensen the more creative of the trio.
