Brighton v Crystal Palace: Premier League – live

Crystal Palace are without Jean-Philippe Mateta but Strand Larsen makes a debut. Adam Wharton returns from suspension, Jefferson Lerma moves into the back three and Riad drops to the bench. Brighton hand a full Premier League debut to 17-year-old Harry Howell on the right of their midfield three; “It’s not about age, it’s about quality,” Hurzeler says, adding that excellence in training was decisive and confirming Van Hecke has a small issue.

Subs include Julio, Minteh, Hinshelwood, Welbeck, Milner, Steele, Gómez, O’Riley, Veltman.
