Albion have brought back Dale Stephens - and could be poised to hand Anthony Knockaert a forward role.

Knockaert could start alongside or just behind striker Tomer Hemed tonight as the Seagulls take on unbeaten Championship leaders Huddersfield at the Amex.

Jiri Skalak returns, either out wide or in a No.10 role, and Stephens resumes last term’s midfield pairing with Beram Kayal.

Glenn Murray is on a subs bench which includes ex-Huddersfield pair Ollie Norwood and Elvis Manu but there is no place in the 18 for Sam Baldock, now free of suspension.

Huddersfield name the XI which kicked off their win at Leeds on Saturday.

Albion: Stockdale; Bruno, Dunk, Duffy, Bong; Murphy, Stephens, Kayal, Skalak; Knockaert, Hemed. Subs: Maenpaa, Hunt, Goldson, Sidwell, Norwood, Manu, Murray.

Huddersfield: Ward; Smith, Lowe, Hudson, Schindler; Hogg, Mooy; Van La Parra, Payne, Bunn; Kachunga. Subs: Cranie, Holmes-Dennis, Hefele, Whitehead, Palmer, Wells, Coleman.
