Early Team News for Brighton v Bournemouth

Last updated : 11 September 2006 By Bob Gear
Michel Kuipers should keep the Goalkeepers shirt after another sound performance between the sticks on Saturday. Republic of Ireland stopper Wayne Henderson will have to make do with a place on the bench.

Sam Rents was taken off at half time in that game at millwall. Expect Kerry Mayo to start on Tuesday with new boss Dean Wilkins hoping to give Rents some substitute experience later on in the game if all is going well.

Paul Reid started in his more favoured midfield position, but was substitutd in favour of another Youth Team product Tommy Fraser during the second half. The midfield will be the problem area for Wilkins with Carpenter missing the game and Dean Hammond out of form at the moment.

Gary Hart & Alex Revell performed well up front on Saturday without looking like troubling the scoresheet.

El-Abd, Santos, Lynch, Mayo
