Coached by Ranko Popovic, Kashima Antlers currently sit in third place, tied on points with second-place Gamba Osaka. Brighton have lost two of their last four games, but are unbeaten in their last 11 matches.

The team lineup is as follows:

Kashima Antlers XI: Hayakawa (GK); Sugai, Ueda, Sekikawa, Anzai; Misao, Shibasaki, Doi, Nakama; Morooka, Suzuki

Brighton XI: Steel (GK); Lamptey, van Hekke, Samuels; Milner, Bareba, Moran, Mitoma; Osman, Minte, Welbeck
