Brighton v West Brom: match preview

Brighton v West Brom
Brighton v West Brom: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Z

Brighton have been up and down, much like West Brom, but their ceiling feels rather higher, especially in attack. Graham Potter’s side need a statement victory to arrest a run of three without three points. Always easier said than done when facing a side you are “supposed” to beat. Slaven Bilic will be happy switching to the rugged pairing of Branislav Ivanovic and Ahmed Hegazi in central defence garnered a clean sheet last time out for West Brom. Now he needs end product from Karlan Grant to back up their productivity. Graham Searles
