Sam Baldock is back to lead the line for Albion at home to Middlesbrough at the Amex today.

The return of Baldock from a calf injury which ruled him out for four matches is one of five changes manager Sami Hyypia has made from the 1-1 draw with Watford a fortnight ago.

Inigo Calderon, now free from suspension, comes in at right-back for Bruno who is not in the 18.

Danny Holla is back for Rohan Ince in midfield where Jake Forster-Caskey replaces the injured Andrew Crofts, who has been ruled out for the season.

Kazenga LuaLua plays as part of the forward line with Adrian Colunga dropping to the bench where he is joined by Chris O’Grady, whose place has been taken by Baldock.

Albion: Stockdale; Calderon, Greer, Dunk, Bennett; Holla, Gardner, Forster-Caskey; Teixeira, Baldock, LuaLua. Subs: Hughes, Chicksen, Ince, McCourt, Colunga, O’Grady, Walton.

Middlesbrough: Konstantopoulos, Fredericks, Ayala, Gibson, Friend, Adomah, Leadbitter, Clayton, Reach, Tomlin, Kiki. Subs: Whitehead, Vossen, Wildschut, Nsue, Bamford, Velijkovic, Blackman.
