TEAM NEWS
Huddersfield defender Terence Kongolo is a fitness doubt because of a leg problem sustained against Wolves last weekend.
Forward Laurent Depoitre has a groin problem and will also be assessed, while Chris Lowe is definitely out with a shoulder injury.
Brighton's record signing Alireza Jahanbakhsh remains sidelined by a hamstring complaint.
Suspended midfielder Dale Stephens is another absentee for the Seagulls.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Steve Wilson: Huddersfield have leapt from the bottom of the table to 15th on the back of an unbeaten three-game run which has brought seven invaluable points.
However, they are still just two points above the relegation zone and must know that survival - if it comes - will be by the skin of their teeth based on points taken in games like this.
How David Wagner must wish he had a finisher like Glenn Murray. Whilst no Huddersfield striker has scored so far this season (think about that for a moment!), Murray is the joint top-scoring Englishman in the league - notching 50% of his club's goals so far this campaign.
No wonder he was offered - and signed - a new contract recently.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner: "Back-to-back wins in the Premier League are so difficult to achieve for clubs like us.
"We know this is something very big - we have done this only twice in the last season and now we have the opportunity to do it again, at home, against a very good opponent."
Chris Hughton on the form of Glenn Murray: "It is unusual for somebody of Glenn's age to be as regularly fit as he is, and of course scoring goals at the highest levels.
"He has a great desire to want to continue playing and at the best level he can, and also scoring goals. But it's one thing saying that and another actually doing it. So we're very thankful that he is actually doing it."
