SATURDAY, 20TH NOVEMBER 2004

TEAM NEWS

Steve Cotterill has been hit with another injury setback for the game with John McGreal missing the game. Ian Moore and Graham Branch both played 45 minutes for the reserves on Tuesday and should feature tomorrow. Danny Coyne, Richard Chaplow, Jean Louis Valois and Frank Sinclair will all miss the game tomorrow.

Brighton will be forced to make two changes with Adam Virgo and Danny Cullip both missing the game due to suspensions.

Brighton Key Player - Steve Claridge

FORM GUIDE

Brighton's home record is poor with the Seagulls winning just 2 of their 9 league games. Those victories were against Northern sides, Preston and Leeds, so we can only hope that this trend doesn't continue tomorrow. Confidence will be quite high in the home camp following their win at West Ham last week which came on the back of 3 successive defeats.

Steve Cotterill will be looking to build on our victory over Nottingham Forest last week and the Clarets have only lost one of the last six away games.
