Chris Hughton has made sweeping changes to Albion’s line-up for today’s game with Wolves at the Amex.
Albion’s boss has retained only five of the side that lost 2-1 away to Reading on Tuesday.

For Stephens, it is his first start for 11 months.
O’Grady, Emmanuel Ledesma, Kazenga LuaLua and Greg Halford all drop to the bench while Rohan Ince and Jake Forster-Caskey are left out of the matchday 18 altogether.
Christian Walton returns as back-up goalkeeper to David Stockdale.
Former Seagulls No.1 Tomasz Kuszczak is in goal for Wolves who are eighth in the table going into the game.
Albion, who begin the day in 19th place, are chasing a fourth home league win on the trot.
