Brighton lineup vs. Wolves: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Right-back dilemma, Dunk decision: Predicted Brighton lineup vs. Wolves

Brighton & Hove Albion could be without up to four players for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Amex Stadium.

Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas (both knee) remain in the treatment room, while Mats Wieffer (ankle) is a doubt after aggravating an ankle problem in last weekend’s 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United.

A late call will also be made on the availability of Diego Gomez (knee), but Solly March and James Milner are available for selection after recovering from muscle problems.

If Wieffer is not deemed fit to start, head coach Fabian Hurzeler will weigh up whether to select Joel Veltman, Maxim De Cuyper or Ferdi Kadioglu at right-back, the latter of whom could continue at left-back, though.

Lewis Dunk has begun as a substitute in the last two games since returning from suspension. Although Hurzeler has said that his captain could "come back and play" this weekend, Olivier Boscagli may be preferred at centre-back alongside Jan Paul van Hecke.

Jack Hinshelwood scored his second goal in as many games last weekend, and the Seagulls starlet is likely to remain in an advanced midfield role, as Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari battle for a start in a deeper position alongside Pascal Gross.

Top scorer Danny Welbeck, who has 13 Premier League goals to his name this season, should start against up front, with Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh providing support in attack from out wide.

Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:

Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Boscagli, Kadioglu; Ayari, Gross; Minteh, Hinshelwood, Mitoma; Welbeck
