Alireza Jahanbakhsh has impressed from the bench in recent weeks and the Iranian gets a rare chance to shine at Wolves today in place of Joel Veltman, who is missing from the squad.

Brighton are 10 points above the relegation places with four to play and victory at Molineux Stadium would guarantee their safety in the Premier League for another season.

Adam Lallana is out once more due to a calf injury while Tariq Lamptey (hamstring), Solly March (knee) and Florin Andone (knee) are the long term absentees.

Here's how Brighton fans reacted to Albion's starting XI on social media

@ryanadsett: Alireza has definitely warranted a start based on recent performances. Nothing to lose now really. Veltman must be injured, but happy with that team. UTA
