Fulham defender Dan Burn will be suspended when his side visit the Amex next Saturday.
The 6ft 7in centre-back picked up a fifth yellow card of the season in tonight’s 2-1 defeat at Brentford.
That result keeps Fulham just two points clear of the Seagulls after they had seemed set to open a sizeable gap.
Hugo Rodallega gave the Cottagers a 57th-minute lead but Harlee Dean levelled before substitute Jota's shot was deflected in by Burn.

Reading defender Alex Pearce scored an own goal, conceded a penalty and was sent off - all in the first half - as his side lost 2-1 at Cardiff.
Peter Whittingham's 45th-minute spot kick turned out to be clincher for Russell Slade's men. Michael Hector replied late on but Reading have now lost eight of their last 12 matches.
