Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Brentford to the American Express Stadium for a Premier League encounter on Wednesday night.
While Roberto De Zerbi's side are looking to extend their unbeaten home run to six matches, Thomas Frank's men will endeavour to stretch their undefeated streak over the Seagulls to three games.
However, De Zerbi's depleted squad was unable to register a third win on the bounce as they suffered a 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge, despite boasting 68% possession, nine shots on target and playing the entire second half with an extra man following Conor Gallagher's first-half dismissal.
Brighton, who remain eighth in the Premier League table and seven points adrift of the top four, have now scored in each of their last 30 top-flight matches, while they have both scored and conceded in each of their previous 18 league fixtures – their longest such run in the competition.
A run of three successive home games is up next for Brighton, with an important Europa League group-stage encounter with Marseille taking place after back-to-back Premier League clashes with Brentford and Burnley, fixtures that De Zerbi and co will be targeting maximum points from in their quest to climb back into the top seven.
