Albion have made four changes to their starting line-up for today's home clash with Stockport.

The Seagulls bring in Graeme Smith, new signing Elliott Bennett, James Tunnicliffe and Nicky Forster as they look to bounce back from the 7-1 midweek mauling at Huddersfield.

Smith gets his first start in place of the banned Michel Kuipers in goal while Tunnicliffe is called in for a debut at the back in place of Adam El-Abd.

Bennett replaces Kevin McLeod, who is away for personal reasons.

Forster comes in for Jamie Smith with Albion looking likely to line-up in a 4-4-2 formation.

The bench includes young goalkeeper Mitch Walker, a second-year scholar.

Stockport have received clearance to bring in midfielder Liam Bridcutt on loan from Chelsea and he makes his debut for them.
