Wonder what MM will do if Kuipers plays a blinder against Brizzle?
From Argus
Albion No. 1 Wayne Henderson is heading for a club versus country clash which will gift his rival Michel Kuipers a temporary route back into the first team.
The Seagulls visit Bristol City on September 2 - the same day as the Republic of Ireland play in Germany.
Henderson is sure to be named in Steve Staunton's Irish squad for the opening match of their European Championship qualifying campaign in Stuttgart.

The former Aston Villa keeper would not then be available for Albion's trip to Ashton Gate, letting Kuipers back in.
Manager Mark McGhee said: "There's nothing we can do about it. We have no jurisdiction, if he (Henderson) gets picked he goes.
"That is why it is good to have someone like Michel here. We are not going to have to improvise and get a goalie on loan.
"We'll see what happens if Michel plays well but if Wayne is playing really well and keeping his place in the team, then you would have to say that he would come back."
The Germany match is the first of four qualifiers for the Irish this season which could rule Henderson out of Albion games. They are away to Cyprus on October 7, the day before the Seagulls host Blackpool.
The Republic's home game against San Marino on November 11 clashes with the first round of the FA Cup and their home match against Wales on March 24 with Huddersfield's visit to Withdean.
Henderson and Sheffield United's Paddy Kenny are vying for the goalkeeping spot in tonight's friendly for the Republic against the Dutch in Dublin, with regular No. 1 Shay Given ruled out.
