Aston Villa winger Bertrand Traore made his comeback from a groin strain on Monday when he played for Burkina Faso.
Kortney Hause could also be fit but fellow defenders Bjorn Engels and Frederic Guilbert remain out with respective thigh and side injuries.
Brighton captain Lewis Dunk has served a three-match ban and will start.
Aaron Connolly and Solly March are back in contention but there are doubts over Leandro Trossard, who has had a muscle injury, and the ill Davy Propper.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
When everything clicks, Villa look very good. They completely outplayed Arsenal at the start of this month and had that extraordinary win over Liverpool in October.
