"Tariq Lamptey and Joel Veltman are available, confirmed De Zerbi speaking ahead of the clash at Craven Cottage. “Evan Ferguson as well. [Danny] Welbeck can play part of the game.”

The Seagulls, who are seventh in the Premier League, are however still without Joao Pedro (thigh), James Milner (thigh), Solly March (knee), Kaoru Mitoma (back), Jack Hinshelwood (foot) and Billy Gilmour (suspended).

Albion are also in action this Thursday as they travel to Roma for the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

The Italian added: “This is part of football and we move on and we play better to win the game tomorrow. We want to keep this level on the table.

“Tomorrow the focus is to win the game and we have to play with fresh players. I will change but not for Roma. We start to prepare for Roma on Sunday morning.”
