The Seagulls are currently enduring a torrid run of form. Albion have lost their last six league games in a row and have not picked up a Premier League point since the 2-0 win at Watford on February 12.

Brighton, who have taken 33 points from 29 games, are eight points clear of 17th-placed Everton and 11 ahead of third-from-bottom Watford, although the Toffees have two games in hand.

The Seagulls will be desperate to halt their slide against a Canaries team who seem destined for the drop.

Norwich, who have won just four league games this season and have also lost their last six consecutive Premier League games, sit bottom of the table and are eight points behind Everton, who also have two games in hand.

The Canaries and Albion met at Carrow Road on October 16 and played out a goalless draw.

A win against seemingly doomed Norwich is a must for Albion. Brighton's next three games following the visit of the Canaries sees them travel to heavyweights Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.

Lallana, meanwhile, suffered a hamstring injury on March 12 which is likely to keep him out of the game with Norwich.

Mac Allister limped off the pitch while playing for Argentina on Wednesday.
