Crystal Palace welcome bitter rivals to Selhurst Park tonight as Roy Hodsgon manages an injury crisis in defence.
The Eagles are without injured trio Joel Ward, Patrick van Aanholt and Jeffrey Schlupp, while Mamadou Sakho is suspended and both Gary Cahill and Scott Dann are managing knocks.
It means Jairo Riedewald, who has not started a Premier League game for 659 days, is set to line up at left-back as the Eagles chase a massive three points which would take them level on points with sixth-placed Manchester United.
Roy Hodgson has been forced into tweaking his back four in four straight matches, but remarkably the Eagles have gone 275 minutes since conceding in the League. Brighton, who sit 13th, will go above their hosts if they can record a second straight victory at Selhurst Park.
