All the latest team news for Brighton and Hove Albion and across the Premier League

The Football Association has filed charges of misconduct against

Nottingham Forest and first-team coach Steven Reid for their altercation with

referee Paul Tierney following Saturday’s Premier League match against Liverpool.

Reid was sent out after he entered the pitch to argue with Tierney at the

conclusion of the game, which ended with Forest losing 1-0 due to a goal by

Darwin Nunez far into stoppage time.

Referee analyst Mark Clattenburg for Forest remarked that the team was

“aggrieved” by Tierney’s erroneous decision to give Liverpool a dropped

ball in the Reds’ penalty area instead of awarding possession to Forest when he

paused play due to Ibrahima Konate’s head injury.
