Kazenga LuaLua has been passed fit for Brighton's live Sky Sports clash with Brentford on Friday night, but skipper Gordon Greer is still out.

Winger LuaLua, recently back from long-term groin trouble, is available despite suffering a toe injury against Huddersfield last time out, but defender Greer remains sidelined by the hamstring injury which has kept him out of the previous two matches.
