Town boss Paul Jewell has made two changes from the side which drew 1-1 at Barnsley on Saturday for this evening’s game at table-topping Brighton.

Michael Chopra returns after a thigh strain, while Jay Emmanuel-Thomas is recalled with Luke Hyam missing out due to his back injury and Jason Scotland dropping to the bench.

The Blues look set to return to their more usual 4-3-2-1 formation after lining up in a diamond at Oakwell. Full match preview here.

Town: Loach, Edwards, Chambers, Higginbotham, Cresswell, Drury, N'Daw, Murphy, Emmanuel-Thomas, Martin, Chopra. Subs: Lee-Barrett, Smith, Ainsley, Luongo, Carson, Ellington, Scotland.

Brighton: Kuszczak, Calderon, El-Abd, Greer, Bridge, Bridcutt, Hammond, Barnes, LuaLua, Dobbie, Orlandi. Subs: Ankergren, Dunk, Painter, Harley, David, Buckley, Dicker.

WarkyWonderLand added 22:26 - Oct 2 A good point. However, now only 2 wins in our last 15 league games. That form will take us one way. Saturday will be our 10th game of season so nearly 25% of season. Will that be the tipping point cos PJ is still not the person to take us forwards.
