Albion travel to Nottingham Forest tonight.
Carlos Acosta Juckes looks at what to expect from the home side.
What is Nottingham Forest's form?
Nottingham Forest recent form is quite disappointing. As of today, Forest have not won in their last 12 games. Their last win recorded was on February 5 against Leeds. They currently stand 19th in the table, one point away from safety zone. They lost their last fixture to Liverpool (3-2) in a chaotic game.
How do they perform at home?
Whilst playing in enemy soil hasn´t been a success for Forest, doing it in front of their fans helps the players massively. Five wins and six draws in 16 games.
Who´s the top goalscorer?
Brennan Johnson has scored ten goals in all competitions, eight of them in the Premier League.
Injuries?
Steve Cooper confirmed at the press conference that Scott McKenna will be missing for the remainder of the season as the player suffered a fractured collarbone during the game against Liverpool. Serge Aurier and Cheikhou Kouyate will be ruled out against Albion.
Steve Cooper´s quotes about Albion?
"Brighton have quite rightly been getting a lot of praise for the season they are having.
“When you play an opponent, you study them a lot more and they seem like a really aligned and joined up club who are very clear about how they do everything and that´s very much been taken on to the pitch this season.
“They will be a really tough opponent, but one that we´re preparing well for and one we will be ready for.
“It’s at the City Ground and we know that we can have good times there, so were going to give everything we can to make Wednesday another good point."
About the dressing room?
“We are all aware of the situation and the challenge continues, there´s no doubt about that.
“We are speaking very openly about the present situation and we know the run is far from what we want it to be.
“We have got to keep looking forwards, we´ve got to keep doing whatever it takes on a day-by-day basis to be at our best in the next games.
“There are still six games to play and we´re right in and amongst a group of teams who are in a similar situation. Things can change quickly, we´ve got to make sure that happens.
About the City Ground fans?
“Our supporters have been incredible this year and we will never take their support for granted. It can help enormously.
“We´ve got to play our part and make sure we try and have the connection we do have to make it tough for Brighton.
