Albion have named an unchanged starting line-up to face Brentford – with new boy Jiri Skalak told to bide his time.

The Seagulls name the XI which secured wins against Blackburn and Huddersfield in their last two outings.

It is understood Skalak, signed on Monday from Mlada Boleslav, is being prepared with the trip to current leaders Hull City in mind and he is not in the 18.

Recent loan arrival Steve Sidwell is on the bench.

Tomer Hemed again starts alongside Bobby Zamora in attack while Kazenga LuaLua will again have to hope to make an impact from the bench.

Niki Maenpaa is not part of the 18 with Casper Ankergren acting as substitute goalkeeper.

Brentford name the XI which kicked off the 1-1 draw at home to Leeds last time out.

Albion: Stockdale; Bruno, Dunk, Goldson, Ridgewell; Knockaert, Stephens, Kayal, Murphy; Hemed, Zamora. Subs: Ankergren, Calderon, Crofts, Sidwell, LuaLua, Towell, Wilson.

Brentford: Button; Colin, Dean, Barbet, Bidwell; McEachran, Woods; Saunders, Judge, Swift; Vibe. Subs: Bonham, Yennaris, O’Connell, McLeod, Kirschbaumer, Canos, Djuricin.
