Brighton remain without Liam Rosenior and Beram Kayal for the visit of Fulham.
Former Cottagers defender Rosenior is working his way back to fitness following an ankle injury and is three or four weeks away.
Kayal is also recovering from an ankle problem which has sidelined him since September.
But boss Chris Hughton has no new injury concerns as the second-placed Seagulls attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches.
Brighton have won their last three league games against Fulham, registering a 5-0 hammering at the Amex in this fixture last season.
Former Fulham keeper David Stockdale has kept more clean sheets than any other Championship goalkeeper this season (9).
Only Scunthorpe (2.1 points per game) have a better league record across the top four tiers (excl. play-offs) this calendar year than the Seagulls (2.05)

Fulham counterpart Slavisa Jokanovic again has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Winger Floyd Ayite is over his recent ankle injury and came on as a substitute during the 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.
Jokanovic has named an unchanged side for the last three matches, in which Fulham have collected two wins prior to last Saturday's stalemate.
Ayite, Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Smith are among the players pushing for recalls should Jokanovic opt to make changes.
In Fulham's last nine trips to Brighton in all competitions they have either scored twice or not at all, scoring twice four times and not at all on five occasions.
No team has scored more 90th-minute goals this season in the Championship than Fulham (4). Their last two goals have come in the final minute or injury time.
Fulham have lost just once in eight matches on their travels this season, to Aston Villa in October (W4 D3).
