21:25

WIDE!!! Initially dispossessed after taking too long on the ball, it comes back to Adingra on the edge of the box and he drills a low effort inches wide of the upright, with Flekken rooted to the spot!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

21:24

SAVED!!! Pinnock is first to Gilmour's corner and heads the ball away from the area, but Adingra thumps it right back towards goal with a sweetly-struck volley that Flekken tips around the post!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

The Bees' corner is glanced away to Lewis-Potter on the edge of the box, whose low volley is blocked well by Mitoma for another set-piece.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

21:14

Lewis-Potter gets rid of Hinshelwood as he brings down a high ball, racing in behind the Brighton defence. He tries a cut-back from the left, but Igor gets in the way to make the block and concede a corner.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

21:12

Roerslev chases his countryman Damsgaard's throughball into the Brighton box, but Steele is well off his line to collect and alleviate the danger.

Brentford have won just one of their 11 Premier League games outside of London so far in 2023, with the Bees winless in the last eight of these and losing seven in total. However, their only such victory in this time did come on the south coast, beating Southampton 2-0 in March.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

21:08

Gross' far-post cross is nodded back towards goal by Hinshelwood, but the ball hits Onyeka on its way through and goes behind for a corner.

OVER!!! Another Brentford free-kick is whipped into the area by Ghoddos and Pinnock gets his head to it, sending a powerful effort just inches over the top of Steele's crossbar!

Substitution Facundo Valentín Buonanotte James Philip Milner

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

21:04

CHANCE!!! Mitoma sets off on another mazy run and beats Roerslev and Onyeka as he darts into the box, but the final touch takes him too wide and he blasts a cut-back into the side netting!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

21:00

Gilmour's wide pass to the right opens up space for Adingra in the box, who cuts inside, lays the ball off to Buonanotte, and watches as the Argentine playmaker fires a woeful shot over the top from 20 yards.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:59

Teenagers have scored 18 of Brighton's Premier League goals in 2023, the most by a team in a single year since Liverpool in 1998 (25).

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:58

OVER!!! Brighton are straight back on the hunt for a third and Buonanotte's cross finds Pedro in the box. He brings the ball down and tries an ambitious bicycle kick, but sends his shot miles over the bar!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:53

BLOCKED!!! Onyeka gets the better of Gross to steal the ball in the box and play it across to Maupay. His shot deflects back off Igor, and the follow-up from Wissa strikes an unsuspecting Steele and it's cleared off the line by Balepa!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:50

SAVED!!! Adingra dispossesses Ghoddos and bursts down the byline to cross for Pedro, whose first time shot is saved brilliantly by Flekken! The rebound drops to Adingra, who also fires goalwards from close range, but he's flagged for offside just as the goalkeeper makes another strong parry!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:49

Assist Pascal Groß

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:49

CHANCE!!! Gross slips a delightful throughball behind the defence for Mitoma to latch onto, and he drags it back for Pedro. His early shot takes a deflection and is parried by a stranded Flekken, before Onyeka scrambles the ball clear!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:47

Brighton conceded first in a Premier League home game for the first time since September, when they came back to win 3-1 against Bournemouth. It's their only win in eight when conceding first at the Amex under Roberto De Zerbi.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:45

Baptiste resumes proceedings on the south coast, kicking off the second half for Brentford.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:42

Substitution Yehor Yarmoliuk Keane William Lewis-Potter

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:38

Switching from right-back to left-back in Brighton's XI, Gross has still been popping up all over the pitch, firing in the equaliser from the edge of the box and putting an earlier effort wide of the target. The Germany international has also completed 22 passes from six final third entries, and has the most touches of any player on the pitch. He's been successful in four of his even duels so far, winning half of these in the final third with two well-timed tackles. Key.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:32

We're locked up at 1-1 as the first half draws to a close, with a manic few minutes seeing Brentford take the lead and have it cancelled out just as quickly! The first 25 minutes were sparse of chances to say the least, with Gross' miss from close range the only move that looked anything like dangerous. All that changed though, when Van Hecke hauled down Janelt in the box, with Mbeumo slotting home the resultant penalty. Just four minutes later though, the hosts were level through Gross, who made up for his earlier miss with a sumptuous strike into the bottom corner. Headers from Pedro and Van Hecke barely troubled Flekken, while Mitoma fired over the top late in the half, as Brighton finished the stronger of the two sides despite a continual struggle to break Brentford down.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:28

HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON 1-1 BRENTFORD.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:27

The corner is nodded away at the front post but falls kindly for Mitoma, who charges onto the ball and blazes a left-footed effort over the top!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:25

Brighton keep the ball well on the edge of the box and Pedro looks to take on Pinnock down the byline. He's dispossessed as he round the defender, but the last touch was Pinnock's and it's a corner to the Seagulls.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:25

Yellow Card Facundo Valentín Buonanotte

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:24

CHANCE!!! Under pressure from Pedro, Mee's loose pass is seized upon by Baleba, who sends it through the middle for Adingra to chase. He almost gets there first, but Ghoddos keeps pace with him brilliantly and slides in to scythe the ball away!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:21

Adingra is hit late by Wissa and stays down with the referee playing advantage, as Gross cuts onto his right foot and has a shot blocked from 20 yards.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:20

We'll play seven added minutes at the end of this first half, which is understandable given we've seen a penalty awarded and several injuries.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:18

Following a free-kick for Mitoma's foul on Pinnock, Flekken punts the ball long and Maupay nods it down for Onyeka. He crosses back in from the right, but Baleba's block sends the ball behind for a corner.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:17

Ghoddos swings in a Brentford free-kick from the right and Mee gets his head to it, but he's flagged for offside before his glancing effort can remotely test Steele.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:17

WIDE!!! Brighton win another corner which is right on the money from Gilmour again, but Van Hecke's header from a late run into the six-yard box flashes wide of the near post!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:14

Brighton are unbeaten in their last five Premier League home games, with the last three ending in a draw. The Seagulls last drew four consecutive home league games in October/November 2017, their first season in the competition.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:14

As if conceding the equaliser wasn't bad enough for Brentford, their scorer and talisman in this game Mbeumo is down injured and doesn't look able to play any further part here. He's carried off with the slim hope of carrying on, but Yoane Wissa is being prepped to replace him regardless.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:12

SAVED!! Adingra's cross from the right takes a deflection and drops nicely for Pedro, but his bullet header goalwards is saved and held by Flekken!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:12

Substitution Bryan Tetsadong Marceau Mbeumo Yoane Wissa

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:08

Brighton are only the fifth side to both score and concede in each of their opening 15 matches of an English top-flight season, and the first since Wolves' 16 back in 1934-35!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:05

Mbeumo has now been involved in six goals in his last seven Premier League appearances, notching three goals and assists apiece across this run.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:04

Assist Kaoru Mitoma

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:03

PENALTY!!! It's a stone-waller in Brentford's favour!! Baptiste and Janelt play a one-two in midfield and the German glides past two with the ball at his feet. He gets beyond in Van Hecke as he arrives in the box, but is dragged down by the Brighton defender and the referee points to the spot!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

20:00

Another smart pass from Gilmour is launched cross-field and into Adingra at the far post, but it's a poor first touch from the Ivorian and the ball bounces behind for a goal-kick.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:59

Another Brighton corner is headed out as far as Adingra, whose ambitious half-volley from the edge of the box sails high and wide of the target!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:58

Penalty Goal Bryan Tetsadong Marceau Mbeumo

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:58

WIDE!!! Gilmour's scooped ball through Brentford's defence gives Hinshelwood space to run into, and the defender pulls the ball back from the byline. Gross is arriving at the near post, but blasts his first-time shot wide from close range!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:58

Yellow Card Jan Paul van Hecke

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:58

Pedro and Van Hecke both rise to get on the end of Gilmour's corner, but the pair get in each other's way and it's a tame header into Flekken's gloves.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:56

Mitoma's overhit cross from the left is kept in brilliantly by Hinshelwood at the opposite corner flag, and Onyeka's tackle takes the ball behind for the first corner of this contest.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:55

Roerslev launches a long Brentford throw into the box which Pinnock gets his head to, but it's an easy one for Steele to collect and the Brighton 'keeper does so.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:51

Mitoma cuts inside to feed Pedro on the edge of the box, but the striker is crowded out by a swarm of Bees defenders and loses the ball as he tries to turn and shoot.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:50

Brentford have won just two of their last nine away league games against Brighton, losing five and last beating them in the Championship in January 2015 and September 2016.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:48

Buonanotte turns looking to advance in the final third, but is stopped dead in his tracks by Onyeka sliding in behind. He's penalised, and given the way those kinds of tackles are viewed nowadays, the Nigeria midfielder is somewhat lucky to avoid a booking there.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:46

Mitoma sets off on another dangerous-looking run down the left-hand side, but Yarmoliuk slides in brilliantly with a ball-and-all tackle that turns possession over for the Bees!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:43

Brighton have won four of their last seven midweek Premier League games, as many victories as they'd managed in their first 38 such matches.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:41

Adingra bursts past Ghoddos and looks to play in Pedro with a low throughball from deep, but Pinnock gets there first for Brentford and passes it back to Flekken.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:39

A loose ball gives Mitoma space to take on defenders and charge into the Brentford box, but his final pass to release Buonanotte is poor and the Bees recover well.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:39

Having won their first two Premier League games against Brentford in 2021-22, Brighton failed to beat the Bees in either league meeting last season, drawing and losing a game apiece.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:37

Buonanotte's all over Mee as the defender looks for options on halfway, but the referee lets Brentford play advantage after he finds Ghoddos.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:34

Joao Pedro gets us underway in Falmer, as he kicks the game off for the Seagulls in freezing conditions!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:30

The two teams walk out of the Amex tunnel, and we're just moments away from kick-off on the south coast!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:18

Brentford’s scorers in their 3-1 win over the Hatters came from all areas of the pitch, with Neal Maupay, Ben Mee and Shandon Baptiste all finding the net. Baptiste starts this game in place of suspended captain Christian Norgaard, with Yoane Wissa moving to the bench and Mads Roerslev starting on the right of the Bees’ defence.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:18

Consolation goals at the end of each half from Facundo Buonanotte and substitute Joao Pedro weren't enough for Brighton to rescue a result at Stamford Bridge, with the latter coming in to start this game. He and Buonanotte are joined in Brighton’s attack by Kaoru Mitoma on the left, while Pascal Gross slots in at right-back as Evan Ferguson and Joel Veltman drop to the bench.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

The 11th-placed Bees have also experienced some up-and-down form of late, with three back-to-back wins in a row followed up by successive losses to Liverpool and Arsenal. Brentford are back on the right track though, returning to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Luton in their last home game.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

19:05

Hosts Brighton are sat in a comfortable eighth position on the Premier League ladder, three points and three places ahead of their opponents in this fixture.
