Maresca is looking for a solution ahead of time after Nicholas Jackson was ruled out until the end of March, and Mark Giu is out for a long spell.
Both went missing in last Saturday’s defeat, with Christopher Nukank unfolding as a fake nine, which again seems the most likely option, but Maresca tried out the other options. I admitted that I was open to seeing.

Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia also don’t exist in the Blues, but Reese James fits after missing out on last week’s FA Cup crash.
Brighton doesn’t have Captain Lewis Dunk yet. Purvis Estu Pinan and Soly March have also returned to training recently.
