Blues boss Paul Jewell has named an unchanged side for the third game running as Town go looking for a fifth successive league victory for the first time since 2003. The only switch of personnel comes on the bench with Ibrahima Sonko, back after his dislocated rib, taking over from Jack Ainsley.

Brighton make one change from the side which drew 0-0 at Hull in midweek, Will Buckley replacing Kazenga LuaLua.

Full match preview here.

Brighton: Brezovan, Reyes, Greer (c), El-Abd, Mattock, Buckley, Navarro, Bridcutt, Razak, Mackail-Smith, Barnes. Subs: Ankergren, Assulin, Calderon, Vokes, LuaLua.

Town: Lee-Barrett, Edwards (c), Delaney, Smith, Cresswell, Drury, Hyam, Emmanuel-Thomas, Martin, Murphy, Chopra. Subs: McCarthy, Sonko, Leadbitter, Bullard, Scotland.

Langdon_Blue added 15:09 - Feb 25 A big Town following on the soth coast. Hope the team give a good performance. Brighton are strong at home though, so I'd take a draw but hope for more...

jas0999 added 15:58 - Feb 25 Sounds as though Poyet has selected a very attacking side against us today - so bound to be chances in the 2nd half.

osborne1nil added 17:04 - Feb 25 Disappointing result against a good team though. Shame Carson wasn't available from the bench as Leadbitter is never going to turn your game around and surprised he was selected ahead of Bullard. ALB sounds like he had a poor game today, but IMO is number 2. A win at home next week required to keep the recent form up to this game going again.

village_blue added 17:54 - Feb 25 Agree with algarve that Richard Wright is our best keeper, and with Lightingboy about Leadbitter as soon as he gets on the pitch things go pear shaped, listening to the radio commentary Leadbitter had the chance 3 or 4 times to put the ball into the Brighton area but what did he do passed backwards and we lost out and then had to defend get rid ASAP of Leadbitter.
