Alexis Mac Allister could get chance to shine – as competition hots up in the Albion squad.

The Argentina international scored in two Carabao Cup ties this season.

He will feature in a busy week which starts at Newport County in the FA Cup tomorrow (7.45pm, BT Sport).

Head coach Graham Potter said: “He played against Arsenal. He was unlucky after that Crystal Palace match and he was ill for a bit and that set him back.

“He has regained his fitness again and he is pushing.

“I’m pretty sure we will see him on the pitch at some point over the next week.

“He has contributed for us before in the Premier League.

“Sometimes it is the case they can’t all play.

“It is a case of waiting for his opportunity and then football decides.
