TEAM NEWS

Bournemouth defender Ryan Garry is a major doubt after missing training all week with flu.

Striker Jayden Stockley (hamstring) is definitely out, while defender Adam Smith is serving a one-match ban.
Brighton striker Glenn Murray should keep his place in the side after shrugging off a hip injury.
Defender Adam El-Abd has completed a one-match ban and is available, while winger Kazenga LuaLua could return to the starting line-up.

Brighton defender Marcos Painter told BBC Sussex:
"It'll be an interesting game I'm sure. It being a local derby will add that extra bit of spice.

"We want to remain at the top of the league and Bournemouth will want to take our place so there's a lot to play for.
"They've impressed this season and their league position shows they've got some good results. In order to get to the Championship we need to win these type of games, especially at home. I'm confident."
