Gordon Greer is in need for a fitness check for Brighton

Leaders Brighton will check on Gordon Greer and Kazenga LuaLua ahead of the visit of Bristol City.
Skipper Greer went off after sustaining a knock during the first half of Saturday's 2-1 win at Leeds, while winger LuaLua is closing in on a return after a month out with a groin injury.
Striker Bobby Zamora could be handed a start after coming off the bench to score the late winner at Elland Road, his first goal since rejoining the club in the summer.
Winger Jamie Murphy completes a three-match ban following his red card at Bolton last month.
City boss Steve Cotterill will run the rule over the players carrying knocks from Friday night's win over Nottingham Forest before naming his side to face the Seagulls.
Cotterill did not reveal which of his team might be doubts, but admitted one injury concern could more serious than the others. He told Bristol City Player: "We've still got a few knocks from Friday, we'll see how they are."
Midfielder Korey Smith returned from a month out with a groin problem in the 2-0 win over Forest and has reported no ill after-effects so could retain his place in City's starting XI.
The Robins climbed off the foot of the Sky Bet Championship table on Friday and Cotterill will be looking for another good result against pacesetters Brighton. He said: "I think it will be a good game, it's a game that we need to look forward to, and will look forward to, and then we'll see where we go from there."
