No Brighton player has had more shots on goal than defender Shane Duffy (8). If selected, Lewis Dunk will make a club record 147th Premier League appearance.
Buzzing on the Bees end
Sergi Canós is a ball winner. The Brentford forward has made more tackles than any other player on either team (15). David Raya is a safe pair of hands in Brentford’s goal, but the home fans will hope he doesn’t have a lot to do on Saturday.
Another goal for Toney this weekend will be a boost to both club and striker. This is a player with a lot to offer a team as ambitious as the Bees.
