Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Despite going through extra time and penalties at Wembley, Brighton make just three changes to the side which suffered FA Cup semi-final defeat. Steele replaces Sanchez in goal, Colwill comes in for Webster, while teenage midfielder Buonanotte will make his first Premier League start. Welbeck is consigned to the bench, but fellow forward Evan Ferguson remains out injured.

Making two changes to the Nottingham Forest lineup which started against Liverpool, Cooper recalls Johnson and Aurier today - the latter returns as captain. Freuler drops to the bench, while Jonjo Shelvey in omitted entirely after clashing with the Forest manager about his substitute role last weekend.

SUBS: Robert Sanchez, Joel Veltman, Yasin Ayari, Danny Welbeck, Deniz Undav, Jan-Paul van Hecke, Odeluga Offiah, Adam Webster, Billy Gilmour.

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION (4-2-3-1): Jason Steele; Pascal Gross, Levi Colwill, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupinan; Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister; Solly March, Facundo Buonanotte, Kaoru Mitoma; Julio Enciso.

SUBS: Wayne Hennessey, Emmanuel Dennis, Andre Ayew, Cheikhou Kouyate, Remo Freuler, Jesse Lingard, Harry Toffolo, Joe Worrall, Sam Surridge.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST (3-4-1-2): Keylor Navas; Serge Aurier, Moussa Niakhate, Felipe; Neco Williams, Danilo, Orel Mangala, Renan Lodi; Morgan Gibbs-White; Brennan Johnson, Taiwo Awoniyi.

Only days after suffering penalty heartbreak against Manchester United in their FA Cup semi-final, where they ultimately came up short in a dramatic shootout, Brighton return to Premier League duty today. The Seagulls now sit eighth in the table, but with as many as four games in hand over their main rivals for European qualification. Continuing to impress under Roberto De Zerbi, Albion had lost just one of their last seven league games before travelling to the Midlands.

Having suffered a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool last time out - despite fighting back from behind on two occasions - Nottingham Forest posted their fourth successive Premier League defeat. During that spell, the Tricky Trees have slipped to 19th in the table and sit two points from safety with six games remaining of their comeback campaign. In all, Steve Cooper's side have endured eight losses since their last victory - with six coming in their last seven outings. Nonetheless, Forest have lost just two of their last 12 league matches at the City Ground.
