Loanee Therry Racon is expected to continue in the Brighton midfield against Nottingham Forest after his successful debut against Swindon.Manager Dean Wilkins swooped for the Charlton midfielder after Adam El-Abd was ruled out for a month with the knee injury he picked up at Huddersfield.

Wilkins, meanwhile, is without both his first-choice full-backs. On-loan Matt Richards has returned to Ipswich for treatment on his hamstring injury and Andrew Whing serves the final game of a two-match ban for accumulating 10 yellow cards.

Kerry Mayo will again deputise for Richards on the left while Gary Hart is expected to continue in place of Whing with Wilkins set to name an unchanged line-up from the one which overcame the Robins 2-1.

Nicky Forster will hope to continue his fine form having scored seven goals in his last seven appearances.
