Rangers News:
We've sold out the tiny 756 away ticket allocation. The match is completely sold out. Bean is reported to have come through after a minor injury against Crewe, so there's a good chance we'll start the same XI. Sh!ttu may travel and take a place on the bench.
The Opponent:
Defender Guy Butters picked up an injury midweek and is expected to be out. Midfielders Charlie Oatway and Richard Carpenter have returned to fitness, but will likely start on the bench.
Brighton's last five (most recent first):
H Wolves L, 0-1
A Watford D, 1-1
A Leicester W, 1-0
H Preston W, 1-0
H Bristol Rovers (League Cup) L, 1-2
The Series:
Rangers hold a slight lead, 29-13-27. The teams played three 2-1 games last year, with the R's winning two at home (League and LDV Vans) and Brighton winning the league match at their home. By chance, I saw both Brighton trips into Loftus Road last season.
The Referee:
Brian Curson gets the assignment. He's worked six matches this season, all at League One or Two level, issuing 16 yellows and 1 red. Last season, he worked our 3-2 home win against Notts County and Brighton's 3-0 home win over Bournemouth.
