Brighton Availability

Brighton face several midfield and attacking concerns.

• D. Gomez (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• S. Tzimas (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• A. Webster (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• S. March (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.

Impact Summary

Brighton’s absentees mainly affect defensive depth (A. Webster, D. Gomez) and wide creativity if S. March does not feature, but with D. Welbeck fit their primary goal threat remains intact. Wolves’ problems are concentrated in goal and in young attacking options, potentially limiting rotation and stability rather than removing a proven major scorer, which is significant for a side with only 25 league goals so far.
