Brighton winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh is absent today after picking up an injury in his side’s midweek defeat at the hands of Manchester United, while Dutch internatinoal Davy Propper remains sidelined with an achilles problem. Jose Izquierdo and Florin Andone are long-term absentees. In better news for Graham Potter, Yves Bissouma is available after serving a suspension following his recent dismissal against Newcastle.
