Connor Goldson is back for Albion today – in a starting XI showing no surprises.
Goldson replaces the banned Lewis Dunk in central defence as the Seagulls take on Wigan at the DW Stadium.
Tomer Hemed returns to the bench after a thigh problem.
A knock-on effect of Goldson replacing Dunk is that Uwe Huenemeier comes into the matchday 18 for the first time in the Championship since the home defeat to Middlesbrough ten months ago.
Bruno, as expected, is fit to lead the side from right-back after his early departure against Wolves on Tuesday.
Wigan bring in Reece Burke for right-back Nathan Byrne as they look to build on their midweek point at Leeds.
The Latics are likely to go 4-4-1-1 with Michael Jacobs operating just off five-goal top scorer Will Grigg. Their bench includes former Albion striker Craig Davies.
Wigan: Bogdan; R.Burke, Buxton, Burn, Warnock; Perkins, Powell, MacDonald, Power; Jacobs; Grigg. Subs: Jaaskelainen, Byrne, Le Fondre, Knoyle, Gomez, Morgan, Davies.
Albion: Stockdale; Bruno, Goldson, Duffy, Bong; Knockaert, Sidwell, Norwood, Skalak; Baldock, Murray. Subs: Maenpaa, Huenemeier, Stephens, Pocognoli, Murphy, Manu, Hemed.
Ref: Simon Hooper (Swindon).
