Brighton manager Dario Vidosic has got the Seagulls flying this season. They have five wins already, equalling their total wins from last season, although the Australian hinted at greater ambitions – silverware.

Brighton lack defensive depth, with Jorelyn Carabali and Maria Thorissdotir recovering from injuries.
