TEAM NEWS
Brighton have no new injury worries for the visit of Cardiff, but Marcos Painter (hamstring) remains out.
Vicente Rodriguez is short of match fitness and will not feature, and centre-half Tommy Elphick is still sidelined with an Achilles problem.
Cardiff could hand a debut to new loan signing Liam Lawrence who joined from Portsmouth last week.
Rudy Gestede (hamstring) misses out so on-loan Newcastle striker Haris Vuckic could start.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Both these clubs have won 21 of 58 competitive matches over nine decades.
• Brighton won 3-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium in August, but have not done the double over the Welsh club since the 1984/85 second tier campaign.
• Brighton need to score three goals to total 50 in home league games against the Bluebirds.
Brighton & Hove Albion
• The Seagulls go into this game with the longest current unbeaten sequence in the Championship of 10 games (W6, D4).
• Ahead of these midweek fixtures, Brighton are the only club of the 92 in the top four divisions not to have lost a league game in this calendar year.
• If selected, Adam El-Abd will be making his 250th league appearance for the Seagulls.
Cardiff City
• While Brighton have been steadily climbing back towards the play-offs, Cardiff have been going in the opposite direction, with one win in six league outings.
• The losing Carling Cup finalists have lost four of five Championship games, including the last two, and travel in search of their first away win in any competition in this calendar year.
• Peter Whittingham, who played every minute of Cardiff's Championship matches this season, is on the verge of his 250th appearance for the Bluebirds.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17201201

1-2 City (Vukic & Mason[sub])
P.s - I edited the op as CHARLTON lost 2-0 at home last night. So Brighton are the only league club not to have been beaten in this calendar year!
