Tariq Lamptey is back in the Albion starting line-up as they face Nottingham Forest.

Lewis Dunk, as expected, also returns while Bart Verbruggen gets the nod in goal.

As hinted by Roberto De Zerbi yesterday, Evan Ferguson leads the attack.

While the formation has not been specified, the names on the team sheet suggest Ansu Fati could be set for a wing role.

Igor Julio, rated doubtful, misses out with an ankle injury.

The problem is not believed to be serious and he is possibly being saved for the game at AEK Athens, for which Jan Paul van Hecke is suspended.

Adam Webster has been ruled out for two weeks while Mahmoud Dahoud starts a three-game domestic suspension.

Under-21s centre-back Ben Jackson provides defensive cover on the bench.

Forest bring in Chris Wood and Danilo for Taiwo Awoniyi and Ibrahim Sangare.

Nottingham Forest: Vlachodimos; Toffolo, Murillo, Niakhate, Aina; Mangala, Dominguez; Danilo, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood. Subs: Turner, Williams, Kouyate, Hudson-Odoi, Yates, Aurier, Origi, Montiel, Boly.

Albion: Verbruggen; Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, Lamptey; Gross, Gilmour; Adingra, Lallana, Ansu Fati; Ferguson. Subs: Steele, Hinshelwood, Jackson, Moder, Baleba, Buonanotte, Joao Pedro, Duffus, Baker-Boaitey.
