Match Preview
Dunk back for Brighton Lewis Dunk returns to the Brighton squad for the visit of Millwall. The centre-half was ruled out of Saturday's win at Leeds after picking up a virus last week but has now fully recovered. Matt Sparrow is in the middle of a three-match ban after he was sent off against Leicester while fellow midfielder Gary Dicker (broken leg) and defender Tommy Elphick (Achilles) are long-term absentees. But boss Gus Poyet has no new injury worries following the 2-1 victory at Elland Road and must decide whether to restore Craig Mackail-Smith to the starting line-up. Scotland striker Mackail-Smith was dropped to the bench after a 12-game goal drought but found the net within three minutes of coming on against Leeds. Millwall have no new injury concerns for the trip. Jimmy Abdou is still missing with a knee problem and joins fellow midfielders and long-term absentees Therry Racon (ankle) and Tamika Mkandawire (knee) in the treatment room. Back-up goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall is also out with an ankle knock but otherwise manager Kenny Jackett has a full-strength squad to choose from. Captain Paul Robinson returned after five games out with a thigh injury to shore up the defence in Saturday's goalless draw against Derby and came through unscathed. Winger Liam Feeney, who scored in the FA Cup at Southampton last week, and new striker Andy Keogh will be hoping to start after coming off the bench against the Rams.

Match Report
LuaLua saves Seagulls Kazenga LuaLua scored a late equaliser to deny npower Championship strugglers Millwall a vital victory as Brighton salvaged a 2-2 draw. Andy Keogh, a deadline-day signing from Wolves, gave Millwall the lead in the 23rd minute with a close-range header but Sam Vokes levelled seven minutes into the second half with his first goal for the club. The Lions reclaimed the lead 12 minutes later with Liam Feeney taking advantage of an error from Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. But Brighton, who have an FA Cup fifth-round trip to Liverpool to look forward to on Sunday, will travel to Merseyside in a better mood after LuaLua struck a 30-yard free-kick - his first goal since October 2010. Brighton, unbeaten in six games in the league, made a good start and created their first real opening in the 15th minute but Sam Vokes hit his 12-yard effort wide. The Lions then took the lead against the run of play in the 23rd minute, Keogh heading home a corner from Scott Barron. Jack Smith let fly from 30 yards for Millwall which failed to trouble Brezovan before Brighton twice came close to equalising in as many minutes. Ashley Barnes was at the centre of both opportunities, with Lions keeper David Forde equal to the task. The Lions were first to threaten after the break with Brezovan called into action to keep out Liam Trotter's 20-yard drive and Keogh then shot wide from close range with the goal at his mercy. That miss proved costly as Brighton went straight up the other end and levelled. Vokes tapped in after Alan Navarro's shot hit Barnes to break his account. Barnes fired over and Vokes was foiled by Forde as Brighton seemed the likelier side to score next. But an error from Brezovan gifted Millwall a second in the 64th minute when he misjudged a cross from Darius Henderson and Feeney was on hand to tap into an empty net - his second goal in three games Trotter fired wide from 20 yards and Henderson forced Brezovan into a save before Forde foiled substitute Torbjorn Agdestein from 12 yards. Vokes had another opportunity with four minutes left, shooting wide, but Brighton did find the equaliser with two minutes left with a fantastic free-kick from LuaLua. The goal stretched Albion's unbeaten run to seven games as they continue to flirt with the play-offs.
