Albion have teamed up two of their flying wingers from the League One glory days – and handed Christian Walton his home debut.
Elliott Bennett starts tonight’s Championship tussle at home to Wigan.
Bennett and Kazenga LuaLua will play wide of Sam Baldock in attack while latest loan addition Greg Halford is among the subs.
As expected Walton takes over in goal from Ali-Habsi, who is not allowed to face his parent club.
Walton’s return is one of four changes to the side which kicked off the 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth.
Inigo Calderon starts, having come on early as sub for injured Aaron Hughes at Dean Court, and Adrian Colunga misses out, despite his goal in that game. Danny Holla also drops to the bench.
Albion: Walton; Calderon, Greer, Dunk, J.Bennett; Forster-Caskey, Gardner, Teixeira; E.Bennett, Baldock, LuaLua. Subs: Ankergren, Halford, Ince, Holla, McCourt, Colunga, Mackail-Smith.
