Adam Hinshelwood gets the nod to replace the suspended Paul Watson for the clash against John Gregory's Derby.

The rookie defender makes his fourth Albion start at Pride Park having made his League debut in the opening day victory at Burnley.

The nephew of former manager Martin Hinshelwood is back in the starting line-up for the first time since dislocating a shoulder in the 1-0 home win against Derby a month ago.

He is one of two changes to the team which drew 1-1 against Ipswich at Withdean on Tuesday.

Simon Rodger returns in midfield for Steve Coppell's men at the expense of Paul Brooker.

Rodger missed the Ipswich match with a second injury close to the broken big left toe he has been carrying in recent weeks.

Gary Hart, ruled out on Tuesday by back spasms, is on the bench.

Ex Albion midfielder Gregory makes one change to the Derby team which defeated Watford 3-0 at Pride Park last Saturday.

Deon Burton has rejoined Portsmouth, so 18-year-old Izale McLeod is recalled to the forward line.
