Chris Hughton has welcomed the return of Lewis Dunk to his defensive options for Albion against Everton at the Amex tomorrow.

The England international is available after a one-match ban for his red card at Bournemouth.

Dunk is likely to be reunited with regular partner Shane Duffy at the expense of Leon Balogun.

Dunk, on target in Albion's 3-1 defeat at Everton last month, and Duffy have not played together since the latter was sent-off against Crystal Palace and suspended for three matches.

Hughton said: "The most important thing is they are all available. We are going through a series of games now in a short period of time.

"It's about having everybody available. We have at the moment young Ben white as well. We have options at centre-half which is important for us."

Dan Burn, signed in the summer transfer window and loaned straight back to Wigan to recover from injury and play games, will further strengthen Hughton's options from January.

Colombian winger Jose Izquierdo remains sidelined by knee trouble for Everton's visit.
