Albion duo Christian Walton and Glen Rea are in action for Albion's under-21s tonight ahead of potential further spells away from the club.

The England under-21s goalkeeper and Republic of Ireland under-21s defender are part of the squad facing Everton at Southport in the last 16 of the League Cup (7pm).

Walton (Bury and Plymouth) and Rea (Southend) have been out on loan already this season.

They are candidates for further loan spells now the emergency window has opened, with Rea a target for Luton.

Recent development squad signings Henrik Bjordal, from Norway, and Jonah Ayunga, from Dorchester, are also in line for their second appearances after featuring in Friday's 4-1 defeat at Arsenal.

Everton have the extra incentive of a quarter-final clash against Liverpool awaiting the winners.

Albion (from): Walton; Doherty; Hunt, Barnett, Barclay, Rea, Dallison, Ward, Hutchinson, Molumby, Starkey, Harper, Tilley, Bjordal, Ayunga, Kandi, Tighe, Deen.
