Steven Alzate returns to the Albion starting XI tonight – and there are two notable names among the subs.
As expected, the Seagulls are without the injured Joel Veltman for the home game against West Ham.
They are also missing Lewis Dunk and Neal Maupay to suspension.
Adam Lallana returns from a calf injury but is only on the bench – as is Florin Andone.

The striker is a surprise inclusion in the matchday squad for the first time since early last season.
West Ham are boosted by returns for Declan Rice and Angelo Ogbonna after injury.
