Albion have stuck with the system which earned three points at Birmingham - but made one personnel change.

Jamie Murphy replaces Steve Sidwell in the role just off front man Tomer Hemed for tonight’s Championship clash at Nottingham Forest.

Albion are looking to match three-point hauls for Burnley and Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Forest bring in former Derby star Jamie Ward and could ask him to lead the attack in a 4-2-3-1 set-up although the formation is as yet unclear.

Michael Mancienne has not recovered from a back injury so Danny Fox, best known as a left-back, starts and could play in the middle of defence.

Nottingham Forest: De Vries; Lichaj, Mills, Fox, Jokic; Gardner, Vaughan; Cohen, Osborn, Lansbury; Ward. Subs: Evtimov, Mendes, Macheda, Blackstock, Tesche, O.Burke, Worrall.

Brighton: Stockdale; Bruno, Goldson, Dunk, Rosenior; Skalak, Kayal, Stephens, LuaLua; Murphy; Hemed. Subs: Maenpaa, Greer, Bong, Sidwell, Knockaert, Wilson, Towell.
