Brighton has been out for nearly a year with ankle injury while a long-standing knee problem has kept Smith out of the first team since September, but both players are Joe Gallen's squad and are expected to feature.
"The plan is for Ryan to play about 45 minutes to an hour," Galle told the club's official site. "Tom will play part of the game, but because he has been out for that bit longer than Ryan we will use him as a sub later on.
"We're really very pleased to have Ryan back. We need natural left-footers available, and having had Dave Martin for just one game before he sustained an injury, it's a big boost to get Ryan back playing again."
