Aside from Enock Mwepu’s sudden retirement, De Zerbi revealed he has no fresh injury concerns ahead of his side’s trip to face the Bees.
De Zerbi, who has overseen a 3-3 draw and 1-0 home defeat against Tottenham since replacing Graham Potter, added: “If you are fighting in the Premier League, you have to know that all games can be very difficult and you have to be ready to fight every opponent.
“We can suffer against Brentford because they are a good team. But we can play our football and they can suffer as well with our skill, ability and style of play.
“The last result (against Tottenham) was not fair and now we have the possibility to win the next game.”
Japan international Kaoru Mitoma is pushing hard for a starting role having impressed from the bench and flying wing back Tariq aAmptey is also keen to force his way in.
Here’s how Brighton could line-up in a 3-4-2-1 formation at Brentford...

Albion's best attacking player and will hope to add to his five goals this season at Brentford; Photo: Bryn Lennon
11. A - Danny Welbeck
Despite failing to hit the target, Welbeck is fit and firing and has played a key role in creating space for the likes of Trossard and Gross. Will be itching to score at Brentford. Photo: Mike Hewitt
