Albion have Craig Mackail-Smith and Arsenal fan Jake Forster-Caskey back in contention for the Gunners' FA Cup visit on Sunday.
The pair have been added to the squad for the fourth round tie at the Amex after recovering from injuries.
Mackail-Smith and Forster-Caskey missed Wednesday's 3-2 home win over Ipswich with injuries sustained in last Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Brentford.
Forster-Caskey went off in the second half with a hip problem and Mackail-Smith hurt an ankle in the closing stages.
Both are likely to be on the bench against Arsenal. Joao Teixeira, Forster-Caskey's attacking midfield replacement, was the two-goal star of the Ipswich victory and Chris O'Grady earned praise for his performance from manager Chris Hughton after taking over from Mackail-Smith as the lone striker.
Mackail-Smith's recovery gives Hughton an extra forward option, with new signing Leon Best Cup-tied.
Top scoring centre-half Lewis Dunk is available again following a one-match ban, but on-loan Nottingham Forest utility player Greg Halford remains sidelined by calf trouble.
