Adam Webster is set for a return to the Albion starting XI when they visit Bournemouth.
Roberto De Zerbi confirmed he would change things at the back after his side drew 3-3 with Brentford.
He is also ready to make a decision today on striker Evan Ferguson, who missed Saturday’s game after picking up a knock while on international duty.
Albion visit a Cherries side tomorrow who have been buoyed by a 2-1 win over Fulham.
Danny Welbeck started, scored and impressed against the Bees.
De Zerbi revealed he took the striker off to conserve him for the trip to the Cherries.
The Seagulls boss said: “Webster will play and Ferguson, we will see.

“I don’t take any risks with Evan but I hope he will be able to play.”
De Zerbi was impressed by Welbeck, who headed home a Solly March cross and was good in general play.
He said: “Today he was the best player on the pitch and it was the best game in my time.
“I hope he can stay next year with us and I have no doubt.
“I explain the importance of Welbeck in the dressing room.”
Kaoru Mitoma and Alexis Mac Allister are both now in double figures for the season across all competitions after scoring against Brentford.
Mac Allister’s point-saving late penalty makes him top scorer in the Prem with eight.
