Brighton and Hove Albion have a number of injury concerns ahead of crunch matches against Ajax and Fulham

The Seagulls dropped down to seventh in the Premier League table following their 2-1 loss against champions Manchester City at the Etihad last Saturday.

Albion went 2-0 down thanks to first half strikes from Alvarez and Erling Haaland but pulled one back after the break through substitute Ansu Fati.
