Albion could be without three first team regulars for the FA Cup quarter-final away to Manchester United.

Dale Stephens and Gaetan Bong are both major doubts for the Old Trafford tie on Saturday night (7.45pm).

Stephens' ever-present record in the Premier League was ended at Everton last Saturday by a minor knock sustained in training.

Bong limped out of the 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park with a thigh strapped after scoring an own goal.

Boss Chris Hughton said today: "Those two will be touch and go. We are hoping that both will train tomorrow. Gaetan hasn't trained since last work and most of Dale's work has been rehab work, so it will depend really on whether they train tomorrow or not.

"It is always a blow when players miss games, particularly players that have been constant members of the team, but that's what the squad is there for, that's why we want competiton and generally we've been in good shape as regards injuries."

Anthony Knockaert starts a three-match suspension after his red card at Everton.

Solly March will replace Knockaert on the right-wing. Markus Suttner would deputise for Bong at left-back, while Beram Kayal stood in for Stephens at Goodison Park.
