João Pedro is preferred up front to Danny Welbeck for Brighton, while Fulham look to be playing three at the back at the Amex. Issa Diop starts for them. Crystal Palace are of course without the injured Jean-Philippe Mateta after he took a whack to the head last week, with Eddie Nketiah starting up top. Kalvin Phillips is back in the Ipswich midfield at Selhurst Park after two games out. Captain Sam Morsy drops to the bench.
