Albion have handed new boy Dale Stephens an immediate debut at Watford today.

Deadline day signing David Rodriguez is on the bench after receiving international clearance following his amicable split with Celta on Thursday.

Stephens replaces Rohan Ince, who is not in the 18 for today’s Championship fixture at Vicarage Road.

The other change to the side which drew 0-0 at Burnley on Tuesday is the return of Andrea Orlandi in place of Kazenga LuaLua.

Albion: Kuszczak; Bruno, Greer, Upson, Ward; Andrews, Stephens, Forster-Caskey; David Lopez, Ulloa, Orlandi. Subs: Brezovan, Calderon, Dunk, March, LuaLua, Rodriguez, Obika.
