First published in Albion by Andy Naylor, Chief sports reporter
Albion boss Chris Hughton has warned it will still be difficult to topple leaders Derby County at the Amex tonight - even without their two main strikers.
Chris Martin and ex-Seagulls loan signing Darren Bent are both sidelined for the visitors by injuries.
Hughton told The Argus: "They are a good side and the way they play, 4-3-3, who ever plays up top for them they won't change.
