Sky Bet Championship leaders Brighton and Hove Albion travel to out-of-sorts Wolverhampton Wanderers in hope of extending their five-point gap at the top of the table. 

Kenny Jackett's Wolves side have made an inconsistent start to the season, and face top-of-the-table Brighton this afternoon (3pm kick-off)
Kenny Jackett's Wolves have made an inconsistent start to the season, and face top-of-the-table Brighton this afternoon (3pm kick-off)

The table-toppers have had a flying start to the season and have only failed to win one of their opening seven games, which was a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town a month ago. Chris Hughton's side have summer signing Tomer Hemed to thank for their start, as the Israeli international has netted four goals in his last three league games.

Star winger Kazenga Lua Lua is back from suspension after sitting out his side's 2-1 victory over Rotherham United on Tuesday night, while fellow winger Elvis Manu could make his debut after joining from Feyenoord this summer.

Hughton has no new injury concerns and has a full squad available as the Seagulls look to preserve the only unbeaten record in the second tier.

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett has a striking problem for the game, with Adam Le Fondre a doubt after picking up a shin injury during training this week. He joins Nouha Dicko on the injury list, after his season was ended by a serious knee injury last month.

Le Fondre's expected absence means that teenage prospect Bright Enobakhare could start alongside Benik Afobe upfront.

The hosts go into the game at Molineux sat 15th in the table, after an inconsistent start to the season has seen them collect just seven points. After beating Blackburn Rovers 2-1 on the opening day, Wolves went three games without a win after a draw with Hull City, which was then followed by defeats to QPR and Cardiff City.

However, they bounced back with a 2-1 over Charlton Athletic before the international break, although lost to Bolton Wanderers last time out.
