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.
