TEAM NEWS
Brighton remain without injured wingers Solly March and Jose Izquierdo.
Fit-again defender Bernardo was an unused substitute against Arsenal and is in contention to play his first game since August.
Wolves are again set to be without injured pair Wily Boly and Morgan Gibbs-White.
Patrick Cutrone will hope to earn a recall to the starting line-up after scoring as a substitute in Wednesday's 2-0 win against West Ham.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Simon Brotherton: Brighton will be buzzing after their memorable win at Arsenal but the Seagulls must now show they can deal with Thursday-Sunday football as well as their opponents have done all season.
Wolves have qualified for the knockout stage of the Europa League with room to spare, and the midweek win over West Ham took their unbeaten run to 10 league games.
If they avoid defeat it will be their longest undefeated streak in the top flight since an 11-match run 57 years ago.
Albion will have had 24 hours fewer to recover and prepare for this game against opponents who have taken 10 points on the road this season, a record bettered only by the top four before the latest round of matches.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Graham Potter: "Anything is possible in this league, that's the way you have to think or else it becomes boring.
"We have to keep working towards what we're trying to achieve and maintain the spirit around the group."
Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: "I hope [the players] enjoyed their day off [on Thursday]. It was well deserved and they needed it. It was important they understand it's a day to rest, recover, stay at home and be with family and join us today to be ready for Sunday."
