Lewis Dunk sits out a one-match ban as second-placed Brighton host Sky Bet Championship leaders Middlesbrough in match nine of the 10 in 10 live on Sky Sports.

Dunk was sent off after being booked twice in the Seagulls' 2-2 draw with QPR in midweek.

Uwe Hunemeier could be set to start alongside captain Gordon Green in the defence as Brighton look to extend their unbeaten start in the league to 22 matches.

Solly March (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the season while Liam Rosenior and Gaetan Bong are both sidelined through thigh injuries, but Sam Baldock could return to the side after returning to training following a similar problem.

Karanka has defended his rotation policy which he says has played a large part in his side's rise to the Championship summit after their midweek win over Burnley.

His main concern is whether to stick with Kike in place of suspended striker David Nugent, or bring Cristhian Stuani back in.
