Vicente will make his first home start for Albion against Hull at The Amex on Saturday (5.30pm).

Boss Gus Poyet has confirmed the Spaniard is a certain starter following his goalscoring full debut in the 3-1 defeat at Ipswich 12 days ago.

Poyet said: "There are maybe two or three players that deserve to play right now and Vicente is one of them.

"He did what we wanted him to do in defence at Ipswich and he made a difference on the ball, so he is going to play on Saturday that's for sure.

"There are another two or three, I'm not going to give you the names, that deserve to play.

"The rest? I can do what ever I like, because I don't think any of the rest can come and knock on the door and say why am I not playing?

"And if you are coming you have got a problem, because we have got plenty of videos and clips and things to show you."

Will Buckley will be missing against Hull for the ninth time in 14 matches as he continues his recovery from a recurrence of hamstring trouble. See tomorrow's Argus for the full story.
