Brighton host Wolves in the Premier League on Wednesday, having been out of action since facing Southampton on 4 December because the weekend's fixture against Tottenham was postponed.

The Seagulls have been difficult to beat this season, losing only three of their 16 league matches - fewer than everyone except the top three, but are determined to end a run of 11 games without a win.

Graham Potter's biggest decision will be whether he switches formation to make up for being without Lewis Dunk (knee), Shane Duffy (suspended) and Adam Webster (calf), or throws teenager Haydon Roberts in at the deep end for his Premier League debut.

This is the starting XI the boss could pick...


1. Goalkeeper & defenders

Robert Sanchez (GK) - The only Premier League game he has missed was because of suspension against Aston Villa, which happened to be Brighton's only defeat that wasn't against Manchester City since August.

Joel Veltman (CB) - Was a minor doubt for the weekend had the Tottenham match gone ahead but should be fine to play here a few days on.

Haydon Roberts (CB) - The youngster has started three times in the Carabao Cup this season and has regularly been included in the matchday squad for Premier League games.

Dan Burn (CB) - Returned from a knee injury last time out against Southampton and it is a good thing he is available here.

2. Midfielders & wing-backs

Tariq Lamptey (RWB) - Back playing regularly after recovering from a knee injury earlier in the season.

Pascal Gross (CM) - Hasn't managed an assist since laying on goals in successive games right at the start of the campaign.

Enock Mwepu (CM) - Returned to the starting XI last time out against Southampton after a brief spell out of the team.

Yves Bissouma (CM) - Has started each of the last six Premier League games since regaining fitness following a knee injury.

Marc Cucurella (LWB) - Proving to be a natural fit on that side and has started every league match since he joined the club in summer.

3. Forwards

Leandro Trossard (ST) - Passed fit after a recent arm injury in a significant boost to Brighton's chances. Looked for his fourth goal of the season.

Neal Maupay (ST) - Each of his last two goals has been a stoppage time equaliser in the last two games. The Seagulls have taken 12 points from the six games he has scored in this season.
