Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Fulham in the Premier League today.

Fulham’s top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic was absent for his side’s clash with Brighton due to a “minor injury”. The Serbia striker, who has hit 11 of the Cottagers’ 34 Premier League goals this term, was replaced by Harry Wilson.

Evan Ferguson returned to lead Albion’s attack as sixth hosted seventh at the Amex Stadium. The Republic of Ireland striker, who has scored three goals in his last five top-flight outings, replaced Deniz Undav in the only change made by Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

SAVED!!! Mac Allister slides in to knock the ball forward for Ferguson, who races after it before Leno, miles off his line, races out to swat the ball away before smothering it!

Brighton are unbeaten in their five Premier League games so far in 2023, winning three and drawing two. They last had a longer run without a league defeat at the start of a calendar year in 2012, not losing in 12 games on the spin.

BLOCKED!!! The free-kick is played across before a ball is clipped in towards the back post. Estupinan knocks it back from the byline, and Veltman's volley towards goal is deflected behind for a corner off Ream!

It's becoming a great battle between March and Robinson down the near touchline, as the two come together again. This time Robinson illegally holds the Brighton man back as he tries to run down the line, and concedes a free-kick which will be crossed into the Fulham box.
