Albion will hope for another happy awayday under the supervision of referee David Coote.
The Nottinghamshire-based official will take charge of the Seagulls for the first time in the Premier League when they tackle Everton on Saturday.
But their paths have crossed before.
Coote last refereed Chris Hughton’s men when they won 2-0 at Barnsley thanks to a Sam Baldock double in the Championship promotion season.
He also reffed Albion the previous season when they won 4-0 at Bristol City.
And he was in charge of Hughton’s first match as Albion boss, a 2-0 success at Brentford in the FA Cup in January 2015.
Coote has a date in the capital before his Goodison trip.
He will be the man in the middle for Arsenal’s tie at home to Blackpool in the Carabao Cup tomorrow.
