Albion have handed Steve Sidwell the first start of his second loan stint with the club.
The midfielder comes into the side to face Championship leaders Hull City on Humberside tonight as part of a tactical rejig which sees Bobby Zamora dropping to the bench.
There is also an enforced alteration at left-back where, as expected, Inigo Calderon replaces the now departed Liam Ridgewell.
Hull name the side which kicked off their convincing 2-0 win at Blackburn on Saturday.
That means Tom Huddlestone remains in central midfield alongside the influential Jake Livermore while Robert Snodgrass retains his right-wing berth ahead of Ahmed Elmohamady.
Hull (4-4-2): McGregor; Odubajo, Dawson, Davies, Robertson; Snodgrass, Huddlestone, Livermore, Clucas, Diame, Hernandez. Subs: Jakupovoic, Maguire, Hayden, Meyler, Elmohamady, Diomande, Akpom.
Albion (4-5-1): Stockdale; Bruno, Goldson, Dunk, Calderon; Knockaert, Kayal, Stephens, Sidwell, Murphy; Hemed. Subs: Maenpaa, Rosenior, Crofts, Skalak, Baldock, LuaLua, Zamora.
