Brighton & Hove Albion v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

Brighton are looking for their first win and league goal. There was some encouragement from their performance at Watford before the international break, with Anthony Knockaert making his first start. The worry for Chris Hughton will be that he was not able to sign a forward, which would have added some extra firepower. There were boosts, though, for Shane Duffy and Davy Pröpper who scored for the Republic of Ireland and Holland respectively. However, with Jonny Evans likely to make his first start, West Bromwich will be confident of extending Albion’s goal drought. Jack Kinnersley
