Derby skipper Richard Keogh is in danger of losing his ever-present record this season when his side take on Albion.
But the Rams are confident they can cover his absence at centre-back.
Keogh is suffering with a hamstring strain ahead of the Seagulls’ visit to the iPro Stadium.
Derby have not ruled him out yet but they have stressed they will take no risks.
That is likely to mean a central defensive pairing of Ryan Shotton and recalled Jamie Buxton on Saturday.
Jamie Ward is available again after a thigh injury and midfielder Craig Bryson is pushing for a start after two impressive performances off the bench recently.
