West Brom were given a much-needed lift with last weekend’s FA Cup triumph at Exeter and should build on that by beating poor travellers Brighton.

Albion's performances are improving under Alan Pardew and recent home draws against a rejuvenated Everton and top-four chasing Arsenal suggest they can see off the Seagulls, who have failed to score in their last five away league games.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are the only sides from 11 visitors to West Brom this season to have left with three points and goal-shy Brighton are unlikely to join that list.
