Brighton can move back into the top four with a win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

The Seagulls have started well under Fabian Hurzeler, winning two and drawing two of their opening four games.

But Forest have matched the South Coast side with the same results and will be keen to leapfrog them on the road.

And with the line-ups now revealed, it is sure to be an entertaining affair at the Amex Stadium.

Read on to discover how each team is lining up for Super Sunday.

Brighton team news

There were a few question marks around Brighton’s squad ahead of this match which have now been cleared up.

Bart Verbruggen retains his place in goal, with Pervis Estupinian, Lewis Dunk, Jan Paul van Hecke and Joel Veltman making up the backline.

Kaoru Mitoma occupies his usual spot on the left-hand side and Simon Adingra gets the nod over on the right.

Carlos Baleba and Jack Hinshelwood occupy the middle of the park.

Danny Welbeck is up top alongside Georginio Rutter, meaning Joao Pedro has once again missed out through injury.

Nottingham Forest team news

Forest are starting to develop an identity under Nuno Espirito Santo and will line up with a lot of the tried and tested players under the head coach.

Matz Sels sits in goal with Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo and Alex Moreno in defence.

Elliot Anderson and loanee James Ward-Prowse will hold the fort in midfield with Morgan Gibbs-White playing in his usual No.10 role.

Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga occupy the wide areas for the Tricky Trees, providing pace and skill on the wings.

As usual, Chris Wood leads the line for Forest.
