Only one centre back starts in Lewis Dunk, with right back Joel Veltman and left back Marc Cucurella also starting.
There are six midfielders on the bench today with Moises Caicedo, Enock Mwepu, Pascal Gross, Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister and Leandro Trossard all starting.
Danny Welbeck leads the line against his former club but just how Brighton will line up with those players is an absolute mystery.
