Brighton will be without Arron Davies for the FA Cup first-round trip to Wycombe.

Nottingham Forest do not want their on-loan winger to be cup-tied, but they have given permission for midfielder Matt Thornhill to play while Arsenal defender Gavin Hoyte has also been cleared.

Caretaker boss Martin Hinshelwood could call on wideman Dean Cox, who fell out of favour under previous manager Russell Slade, in place of Davies.

Goalkeeper Michel Kuipers and defender Adam Virgo will also push for recalls having been dropped for Slade's final game in charge, last week's 3-3 home draw with Hartlepool.

Jim McNulty (ankle) and Colin Hawkins (heel) are still sidelined while fellow defenders Andrew Whing (hernia) and Jake Wright (ankle) could do with a reserve game before returning.
