TEAM NEWS
Brighton centre-half Adam El-Abd is struggling with a hamstring injury and is not expected to participate.
Manager Gus Poyet will also have to cope without Liam Bridcutt, whose fifth caution of the season against Leeds has him serving a one-match ban.
Peterborough full-back Kgosi Ntlhe hobbled from the field against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Ntlhe may well be absent, while wing-back Tommy Rowe's ankle injury means he is rated only 50-50 to feature.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• This is the 40th competitive meeting spanning 50 years; Brighton have won 18 of the previous 39 and Peterborough 11.
• Brighton are vying for a fifth successive win over Posh.
• Peterborough last prised three points off the Seagulls in February 2009, when they won 4-2 in League One at the Withdean Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion
• Tenth-placed Brighton have drawn four of six, including the last two, and are chasing a first win in eight league games.
• Friday's 2-2 home draw with Leeds was the first time this season they had conceded more than a single goal in a Championship match, but they still boast the tightest defence in the division, with 11 goals shipped in 14 outings.
• Former Peterborough striker Craig Mackail-Smith is a hat-trick shy of 100 career league goals.
Peterborough United
• Peterborough, the only club without a draw in the Football League, are looking for their fifth win in eight league outings.
• Maximum points from their 100th away fixture in second-level league football would give Posh a third away win of the season and equal the total accrued on their Championship travels last term.
• The London Road club have had to score at least two goals to avoid defeat and have won all four games in which they have been in front at half-time, but have been unable to recover any points once they have fallen behind.
