Chris Hughton has shuffled his pack in a bid to solve Albion’s travel sickness.
The Seagulls boss has made four changes to the side which was held to a goalless draw at the Den for today’s clash with Blackburn at Ewood Park.
Rohan Ince returns in place of Danny Holla in the centre of midfield with Emmanuel Ledesma and Joao Teixeira offering width in a 4-3-3 formation.
There is also a recall for Chris O’Grady up front with Leon Best unavailable against his parent club and Craig Mackail-Smith dropping to the bench.
Inigo Calderon is the other player to drop out of the starting line-up after picking up a knock against Millwall while Jake Forster-Caskey is named among the substitutes.
Blackburn make three changes to the side which lost 3-2 at home to Brentford in midweek.
Markus Olsson, Jay Spearing and Chris Brown come in for Rudy Gestede and Tommy Spurr – who are both on the bench – while Corey Evans misses out through injury.
Blackburn (4-4-2): Steele; Henley, Baptiste, Kilgallon, Olsson; Taylor, Spearing, Cairney, Marshall; Brown, Rhodes. Subs: Eastwood, Spurr, Williamson, Songo'o, Lenihan, Mahoney, Gestede.
Albion (4-3-3): Stockdale; Bruno, Halford, Greer, Bennett; Ince, Kayal, Stephens; Ledesma, O'Grady, Teixeira. Subs: Walton, Calderon, Hughes, Holla, Forster-Caskey, LuaLua, Mackail-Smith.
