Brighton are enjoying a brilliant season under Fabian Hurzeler.
Just five points off the top of the table, the Seagulls are threatening to upset the apple cart.
There are still questions over whether they can emulate the famous Leicester City side that won the title, but they are certainly there on merit.
Brighton have no fresh injury concerns off the back of beating Getafe 1-0 away from home in the Conference League in midweek.
As for Brentford, Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva are back in training, but are unlikely to feature on Sunday.
The Bees still have a strong squad to deal with injury issues, having only lost once in the league this season.
Only leaders Arsenal can match that total, but Keith Andrews will know the test Brighton will give.
The Seagulls have already beaten the Gunners and Manchester City this term, so have shown they can beat anyone on their day.
