Graham Potter says Albion are giving him more tough decisions than ever.
Now he plans to make the right choices as Newcastle United visit the Amex today (5.30pm, BT Sport).
Top scorer Neal Maupay, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster and Pascal Gross were all among subs for the 2-2 draw at Liverpool.
All will be hoping for a start while Alexis Mac Allister has also made a strong case for more involvement in his minutes coming off the bench.
Albion might also have Geordie defender Dan Burn available again ahead of schedule after a knee injury.
Head coach Potter told The Argus: “You always have decisions because the way you work is ‘how does the team attack, how are we going to defend?’.
“Then we’ve got these different players with different attributes that have qualities that are not the same. It’s about which ones do we think are the best to help us.
“At the same time, keep some consistency in terms of how you want to play the game because, if you are changing too much, that can also be problematic.
“There are always decisions.
“I would say the group is in the best place in terms of competition for places, healthy competition for places, team spirit, quality, it’s the best we have had since I’ve been here.”

Maupay looks the strongest contender to come into the XI – should Potter make any changes at all – and scored three goals against Newcastle last season.
Many in a sell-out crowd will hope to see Tariq Lamptey play from kick-off after sparkling displays as a sub.
