Amid injury issues and a need to rotate given Albion’s league predicament, Eric Ramsay has opted for changes.

Nat Phillips was the latest player to be ruled out due to concussion – and Jed Wallace has been rested to manage his work load following a return from a calf injury.

George Campbell still remains on the sidelines – so Ramsay has opted for a total of nine changes.

Max O’Leary, Callum Styles, Jayson Molumby, Alex Mowatt, Isaac Price, Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and Aune Heggebo have all been rested.

Josh Griffiths comes in for his first start since Albion were beaten 5-0 at home against Norwich, while Alfie Gilchrist moves into the centre of a back four.

Krystian Bielik is fit enough to play, while Harry Whitwell and Ollie Bostock are both handed starts as Ousmane Diakite starts.

It is a first appearance for Albion for January signing Hindolo Mustapha who arrived from Crystal Palace – with Mikey Johnston and Josh Maja both returning to the starting line-up.

Young prospect Dauda Iddrisa is the only youngster on the bench for Albion.
