Adam Lallana - Set to leave at end of season Lallana has announced he is leaving Brighton after the season ends, according to his club.

Impact Lallana is now set to depart the club after four seasons with Brighton, as his contract is set to expire, and he has not resigned. He has had a decent stay with the Seagulls, but after a season in more of a rotational role, it appears he is ready for his next adventure. He hopes to end up in another Premier League side, but those days have likely passed, and he will either be serving in a different top league or a lower division of the English ranks. Either way, he will continue his professional career after the season.

Joao Pedro - Set for return Pedro (ankle) is set for a return against Chelsea on Wednesday, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Pedro is now set to make his return following complications with his ankle, only missing one match due to the issues.

Joel Veltman - Not an option against Chelsea Veltman (undisclosed) is not an option for Wednesday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "We have lost Joel Veltman, I don't know if he can be available...

Impact Veltman looks as if he may be done for the season after going down with an undisclosed issue in the club's last match. This will likely force Tariq Lamptey to get the start at right-back, as Veltman started in the spot in the club's past two contests. He will now hope for a return for the season finale against Manchester United, although it appears he will be in a race against time to make that happen.

Lewis Dunk - Leads defensive line in win Dunk made one tackle, four clearances and one interceptions while helping his team to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Dunk didn't have his usual numbers at the heart of the defense but still prevailed against opposing forwards, being one of the biggest reasons why his side shut the opposition down. With 16 clearances over the last four starts, the center-back will try to keep up with his strong play during the three remaining games of the campaign.

Impact Gross didn't rack up the amount of crosses he's used to but was still a strong presence in the middle of the park with his blend of playmaking and hustle. Having started in all but two matches in all competitions since the start of October, the midfielder is enjoying one of the best campaigns of his career in his seventh year with the Seagulls.

Julio Enciso - Active off bench on Sunday Enciso had three off-target shots and created two chances after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Enciso was brought to replace Facundo Buonanotte just after the hour mark and was way more productive than his peer, being involved in many dangerous plays with his side in search of a goal to break the deadlock. With just four starts since recovering from the serious knee injured he suffered during the start of the campaign, Enciso will hope to make the initial lineup again before the end of the campaign.

Impact Adingra had a man-of-the-match performance here, being involved in most of his team's dangerous plays, providing defensive help and suffering the penalty that led to the game-winning goal during the closing stages of the contest. Despite neither scoring nor assisting since Feb. 18, the winger keeps finding ways to be productive in his first campaign at Brighton, with nine shots, six chances created, 10 crosses and eight tackles over his last three starts.

This was the first goal for the forward since he returned from his hamstring injury and his ninth over 29 league appearances this season.

Impact It's unclear what kind of issue is affecting the veteran midfielder, but he'll miss this match against Villa and will only have three more games left to return before the end of the campaign. The absence of Lallana shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions, as he's made just 12 starts during the current league campaign.

Joao Pedro - Three shots blocked in loss at Vitality Pedro registered four shots (none on goal), one cross (accurate) and created four chances in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Pedro was Brighton's most active playmaker Sunday. He had three shots blocked and created a series of opportunities that were not converted by his teammates. He was subbed after 88 minutes. It has been six matches since the Brazilian last found the net and he is the Seagull's regular penalty taker.

Bart Verbruggen - Concedes three in loss to Cherries Verbruggen made three saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Verbruggen did not make any distinguishing saves Sunday and conceded three of the six shots he faced on goal. It has been four matches since the Dutch international's last clean sheet and he has only delivered three all season. It is unlikely that will improve in the Seagull's next which is against Aston Villa. Villa have lost only one of their last seven EPL games and that was to Manchester City.
