Albion have handed four players debut against Sheffield Wednesday – including young striker Shamir Fenelon.

The former youth-teamer has enjoyed a bright pre-season and supports new boy Chris O’Grady against the Owls today.

David Stockdale and Aaron Hughes complete the quartet of debutants.

Inigo Calderon stands in at left-back, as he did in the opener at Leeds last season.

Solly March, who underwent a fitness test earlier this afternoon, is not in the 18.

There was also a late change of sub goalkeeper for the Seagulls with Christian Walton replacing Casper Ankergren.

Albion: Stockdale; Bruno, Greer, Hughes, Calderon; Forster-Caskey, Ince, Crofts; LuaLua, Fenelon, O'Grady. Subs: Walton, Toko, Buckley, Agustien, Dunk, Mackail-Smith, Chicksen
