Team news
Brighton: Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler is hoping to have Yasin Ayari available again; the midfielder suffered a shoulder injury in January and hasn't played since.

"He trained yesterday, so hopefully he reacts fine to the first training session, and then we have another session today," said Hurzeler on Tuesday. "I'm quite confident that he will be an option for tomorrow."
Long-term absentees Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster will not be involved due to serious knee complaints, but Hurzeler does not expect anyone else to miss the game.
The Brighton boss added: "No, nothing new (on the injury front), nothing big. There are some small issues, so we have to test the players today. We have to see who's a hundred percent fit for tomorrow. But there's no new big injury concerns."

Arsenal: Arteta is hoping Kai Havertz will be fit enough to play some part on Wednesday. The German forward has missed a large part of the season with a knee injury, but he was introduced from the bench against Chelsea last time out.
"He’s done a part of the session," Arteta said of Havertz. "So we will have to wait and see whether he’s available and in which condition."
Arteta has confirmed both David Raya and Declan Rice should be available, despite the pair picking up knocks against Chelsea. He added: "I hope [Rice is available]. He was much better today. Obviously, we haven’t really trained because we have only two days to prepare the game. So hopefully, it’s going to be better tomorrow."
Martin Odegaard has a chance of being involved against Brighton, but Ben White will miss the game. Mikel Merino is Arsenal's only long-term first-team absentee.
