Cardiff face the Championship leaders at The Amex this afternoon. Brighton are the only unbeaten club in the whole of the Premier and Football leagues. It's also a return to one of his former clubs for Russell Slade.
Brighton will be without wingers Jamie Murphy and Kazenga LuaLua when they host Cardiff.
Murphy starts a three-match ban after he was sent off at Bolton last weekend and LuaLua is sidelined by a groin injury suffered in training.
Striker Tomer Hemed hopes to be fit after a hamstring problem and right-back Bruno should overcome an ankle knock.
Midfielder Andrew Crofts, an unused substitute last weekend, could make his first appearance in a year following a serious knee injury.
Cardiff defender Lee Peltier is back in contention after missing last week's home win against Charlton due to a swollen leg.
Boss Russell Slade switched Fabio into the right-back slot last week and started with Scott Malone at left-back and must decide whether to make changes to accommodate Peltier.
Simon Moore will continue to deputise in goal as captain David Marshall completes a two-match suspension.
Slade will be without Federico Macheda for the next two months after the former Manchester United striker needed surgery to repair a disc injury, while Brighton old boys Craig Noone and Alex Revell are both set to start on the bench.

Manager's view.
Brighton – Chris Hughton: “We’ll need the same spirit, the same desire we showed at Bolton (2-2 draw). We scored two goals away and I thought we could have got more. We got into some really good positions, but the final ball just let us down a little bit at times.”
Cardiff – Russell Slade: “Brighton have had a remarkable start, fantastic, to the season. But it’s good to be going there on the back of our win against Charlton. The fans were always very good when I was there. They seemed virtually down when I was appointed manager, but in the last seven matches we won five, drew one and lost one to stay up. There will be a few who remember it.”
