Brighton pair Adam Webster and Enock Mwepu are expected to miss out again with respective groin and hamstring problems.
Head coach Graham Potter reported illness issues within the squad but Lewis Dunk returns after missing the defeat by Burnley due to suspension.
Central defender Ezri Konsa is available for Aston Villa, having served a two-match ban.
Bertrand Traore and Marvelous Nakamba are Villa's only absentees.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Both of these sides suffered surprise home defeats last weekend - Brighton losing heavily to Burnley and Aston Villa being edged out by Watford.
I think Brighton's midweek trip to Old Trafford before that game played a part in what happened against the Clarets.
