Jack Hinshelwood moves from left-back to midfield – an incredible talent – while the powerful Pervis Estupinan makes a long-awaited return.

Brighton: Verbruggen, Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, Estupinan, Baleba, Hinshelwood, Rutter, Adingra, Mitoma, Welbeck. Subs: Steele, Julio, Webster, Kadioglu, Wieffer, Minteh, Enciso, Pedro, Ferguson.

Early team news
João Pedro remains in doubt, having missed the last two games and that is Hurzeler's problem when it comes to finding the goal. Brajan Gruda, Solly March, James Milner and Matt O'Riley are long-term absentees.
Forest are unlikely to be without Wily Boly and Ibrahim Sangare.
Preamble
How to watch Anfield live Nottingham Forest? A first win since 1969 was the surprise of the season so far, and it will take something quite momentous to top it. Nuno is the Forest manager many doubted and many tipped for relegation. An unbeaten start to the season suggests otherwise.
Brighton, meanwhile, have made a fine start under Fabian Hurzeler, who is also unbeaten. Their manager is 31, you know. All the same, they have been playing some good football, albeit a little lacking the edge that Graham Potter and Roberto de Zerbi often struggled to find.
So, there are unbeaten records at stake. Should we call it a draw? No, this could be a good instructive match.
The match starts at 2pm UK time. Join me.
