Forest break away from the corner as Oliver Burke charges at the Albion defence.

The visitors have a three on two, with Lars Veldwijk and Jamie Ward alongside Burke but the winger opts to go it alone.

He wins a corner as his effort on goal is blocked - but he could have used one of those options.

Brighton win another corner, this time after Tomer Hemed and Glenn Murray get in each other's way from a through ball from Anthony Knockaert.

Albion midfielder Berman Kayal has another crack from range, this time after Liam Rosenior's cross was not totally cleared.

The Israeli's effort goes over the bar again.

Henri Lansbury puts in a couple of strong challenges on Brighton's Beram Kayal and Anthony Knockaert on halfway.

Andrew Madley blows him up for the second of those.

Jamie Ward caused Brighton problems in the away game last season. Henri Lansbury's always good. I would get him in if Dale Stephens goes, he's a fantastic player.

Forest get a free-kick just outside the Albion box after Ben Osborn's cross was blocked by the hand of Steve Sidwell.

David Stockdale just about manages to punch away Henri Lansbury's flighted delivery for a corner.

Brighton have come back into the game after Nottingham Forest made a blistering start.

However, we've not seen too much of Albion strikers Glenn Murray and Tomer Hemed.

Brighton playmaker Anthony Knockaert pops up in the centre of the park and starts dribbling towards goal but he is brought down by Pajtim Kasami.

The Seagulls have a free-kick in a decent position but Knockaeart overcooks the cross and it is an opportunity wasted.

Brighton have their second attempt on goal as Beram Kayal shoots from just outside the area from a slight angle.

His effort goes well over the bar.

Brighton stand-in centre-back Bruno steps across Jamie Ward to give Forest a free-kick midway inside the Albion half.

The visitors eventually work a shooting opportunity for Ward but the Irishman shoots well wide on the half-volley from about 25 yards out.

Albion almost open the scoring as Anthony Knockaert's inswinging corner from the right is stabbed goalbound by Lewis Dunk - but the ball goes across goal and wide.

Forest keeper Stephen Henderson had come to claim that one but got nowhere near it.

After surviving two Forest corners, Brighton come ahead for the first time in the game, and Beram Kayal wins a corner.

There's been a lively start from the visitors.

Lars Veldwijk causes problems from a cross and the ball breaks to Jamie Ward, but his effort is blocked by a Brighton defender.

Moments later, Oliver Burke puts in a dangerous low cross which is cleared behind for a corner.

Forest look like they are lining up with a 4-3-3 following that late change.

Brighton are celebrating the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Amex Stadium this evening.

After being forced to leave the Goldstone Ground in 1997, the Seagulls spent two years playing at Gillingham and then 12 years at temporary home Withdean Stadium before moving into the Amex in 2011.

A late brace from Will Buckley gave Albion a 2-1 victory over Doncaster Rovers in their first league game in their new home on 6 August 2011.

Brighton are placing flags on every seat in a bid to recreate the atmosphere from that day ahead of kick-off.

In fact - there's a late change to the Nottingham Forest line-up...

Brighton got the better of Nottingham Forest in both meetings last season.

The two sides kicked off the Championship campaign last August, and Kazenga LuaLua's strike was enough to settle it in Albion's favour at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton then won the reverse meeting 2-1 at the City Ground in April thanks to Steve Sidwell's dramatic injury-time winner.

Fans of the Reds will be hopping for better under new boss Philippe Montanier.

In fact, Forest won on their two previous meetings to Sussex.
