Brighton miss banned LuaLua

Kazenga LuaLua is suspended for Brighton's home game against Rotherham.

The winger serves a one-match ban after he was sent off during Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at Huddersfield.

Craig Mackail-Smith looks set to miss out once more having been struggling with illness as well as a hamstring injury so boss Sami Hyypia will again choose between Chris O'Grady, Adrian Colunga and Sam Baldock - none of whom have scored in the league this season - in attack.

Full-backs Joe Bennett (hamstring) and Bruno (groin) need fitness checks while midfield duo Dale Stephens (ankle) and Andrew Crofts (cruciate) are long-term absentees.

Rotherham manager Steve Evans will pick from the same squad.

The Millers have taken eight points from games against Blackburn, Norwich, Leeds and Fulham and Evans could name the same side that drew 3-3 with the Cottagers in midweek.

Jonson Clarke-Harris, who has scored two in two, will battle it out with Matt Derbyshire for a place up front alongside Alex Revell.

Richard Brindley (hamstring), Conor Newton (hernia) and Richard Wood (knee) miss out, but Rob Milsom (ankle) could feature.
