Venue: The American Express Community Stadium
Kick Off: 15.00
Referee: Graham Scott
Brighton go into Saturday's match against Bolton buoyed by Tuesday nights 2-0 victory at Elland Road. Man of the Match Joao Teixeira will be looking to make his home debut for the Seagulls as will Dutch midfielder Danny Holla. Joe Bennett signed on loan for the rest of the season from Aston Villa will be expected to start at the expense of Adam Chicksen whilst midfield playmaker Paddy McCourt may have to make do with a place on the bench.
Brighton boss Sami Hyypia has a Spanish dilemma at right back where he will have to choose between Inigo Calderon and Bruno Saltor whilst Lewis Dunk will be hopeful of retaining his place at Centre Back alongside skipper Gordon Greer although Aaron Hughes will be pushing hard for a start.
My prediction? 3-1 Albion. Teixeira, CMS x 2
Five games played. Barring Birmingham's three shots, each team has managed maximum ONE shot on target and maximum ONE goal. Miserly.

So five shots on target and 3 goals conceded. That's not a great stat for Stockdale!
Not sure he can be blamed for a superb Coke strike or our inability to pick up Mills at a set piece.
Didn't see Birmingham's goal so can't comment on that.
We need a new forward and I hope hyypia begins to trust lualua a bit more.
Oh and Bolton are dreadful
We need a new forward
Genuine question-would you start Lua Lua then? Cos for me he's a far better sub and Hyypia seems to have worked this out already.

Without a doubt, opens the game up and goes at people. The first half was crimping out for him.
Grabban continues knocking them in for fun for Norwich. Oh what might have been, and it was only a £1m fee or something wasn't it?
