Albion have invited Kazenga LuaLua to turn on the wing magic on New Year’s Day.

LuaLua and David Lopez are in for Will Buckley and Ashley Barnes as the Seagulls host Bournemouth at The Amex.

Albion lost Buckley to a hamstring tear during the 1-0 win at Blackpool on Sunday which has left them level on points with sixth-placed Ipswich.

Andrea Orlandi returns to the subs’ bench as LuaLua steps up into the starting line-up.

The hosts are still missing experienced defenders Bruno (thigh) and Gordon Greer (calf).

Albion: Kuszczak; Calderon, El-Abd, Upson, Ward; Bridcutt, Ince, Crofts; David Lopez, LuaLua, Ulloa. Subs: Brezovan, Andrews, Dunk, Barnes, Chicksen, Orlandi, Agustien.
