Albion start with wing pair

Albion are going on the attack on derby day.

Gus Poyet has named both Will Buckley and Kazenga LuaLua in his line-up to start at home to Crystal Palace.

They will look to provide chances for centre-forward Leo Ulloa.

LuaLua, who looked lively as sub in the midweek defeat at Barnsley, replaces central midfielder Dean Hammond in the XI.

His presence could mean a more central role for Buckley.

There are two anticipated changes in defence.

Gordon Greer comes in for the suspended Adam El-Abd and Inigo Calderon replaces Bruno, who has calf and Achilles problems, at right-back.

Vicente returns to the 18 as one of the subs.

Palace have an enforced change from the side which drew at home to Leeds last time out.
Stephen Dobbie, who is on loan from the Seagulls, started that match but is not eligible to play today.

Jonathan Williams replaces him as the central of three attacking midfielders operating just off centre-forward and top scorer Glenn Murray.

Albion: Kuszczak; Calderon, Greer, Upson, Bridge; David, Bridcutt, Orlandi; Buckley, Ulloa, LuaLua. Subs: Ankergren , Dunk, Painter, Crofts, Hammond, Vicente, Barker.

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Richards, Ramage, Delaney, Parr; Jedinak, Dikgacoi; Zaha, Williams, Bolasie; Murray. Subs: Price, Butterfield, Phillips, Wilbraham, Moxey, Moritz, Gabbidon.
