Liam Dickinson was passed fit to lead the line for Albion away to Swansea in tonight's Carling Cup tie.

Dickinson recovered from an ankle knock picked up in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Walsall.

Manager Russell Slade made one change from that game with club captain Nicky Forster coming in to partner Dickinson up front.

Mark Wright dropped to the bench where he found himself alongside former Swans player Kevin McLeod.

Swansea made five changes from the side that lost to Leicester on Saturday, three enforced by international call-ups.

Albion: Kuipers; Whing, Elphick, Virgo, J.Wright; Cox, Thornhill, Navarro, Crofts; Dickinson, Forster. Subs: El-Abd, McLeod, Tunnicliffe, Murray, Dicker, M.Wright, G.Smith.

Swansea: De Vries; Collins, Monk, Tate, Bessone; Lopez, Orlandi, Britton; Dyer, Dobbie, Gower. Subs: Grimes, Rangel, Bauza, Pintado, Morgan, Bond, Painter.

Referee: Graham Scott (Oxfordshire).
