Jason Steele will start Albion’s Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool.
He takes over from Bart Verbruggen as Fabian Huerzeler makes a change in goal for the fourth-round clash at the Amex.
Jack Hinshelwood is also expected to come back into the matchday squad – with Yankuba Minteh possibly involved.
Huerzeler will make a call after training on whether they start or are on the bench.
Fabian Huerzeler has confirmed one of his starters to face Liverpool tomorrow - and expects Hinshelwood to be back in the squad. My live report from his press conference. #bhafc https://t.co/P3OMCzRLbI

Georginio Rutter is cup-tied and Lewis Dunk has a calf injury.
Danny Welbeck came through his outing against Wolves fine, despite concerns concerns over a back injury, and Huerzeler said he is “an option” for tomorrow.
But Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma and Joel Veltman would appear the more likely players to see minutes limited in the cup tie.
Albion will have a keen eye on workloads as they also face the demanding trip to Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.
Huerzeler rates Liverpool among the best teams in the world but said: “It’s a challenge, an opportunity, another chance to prove how far we have come as a team.”
