Albion have stuck with their opening day XI to tackle Nottingham Forest tonight – with Dale Stephens on the bench.
The Seagulls go with the side which kicked off the 0-0 draw at the iPro Stadium, which means 11 changes from the midweek League Cup line-up.
Stephens is in an 18 for the first time since his contentious red card at Middlesbrough at the end of last season.
Rohan Ince drops out of the matchday squad.
Forest bring in Dutch striker Lars Veldwijk in place of Britt Assomabalonga as one of seven changes to the side which beat Burton last Saturday.
Stephen Henderson continues in goal in place of injured first choice Dorus de Vries and ex-Fulham midfielder Patjim Kasami makes his first start for the club.
Albion: Stockdale; Rosenior, Bruno, Dunk, Bong; Knockaert, Kayal, Sidwell, Skalak; Hemed, Murray. Subs: Maenpaa, White, Stephens, Murphy, Norwood, LuaLua, Baldock.
Nottingham Forest: Henderson; Pereira, Perquis, Mancienne, Lam; Burke, Kasami, Lansbury, Osborn, Ward; Veldwijk. Subs: Smith, Traore, Paterson, Vaughan, Vellios, Iacovitti, Cash.
Ref: Andy Madley (Huddersfield).
