Both sides made several changes from their previous game when they drew 0-0 at the Amex last month and are likely to do again.

West Brom signed three players on loan late in the January transfer window - Jacob Murphy, Stefan Johansen and Jefferson Montero - but they are all ineligible for the tie.

Baggies boss Darren Moore fielded a number of young players in the draw at the Amex and the likes of Sam Field, Rekeem Harper, Jonathan Leko, Kyle Edwards and Rayhaan Tulloch could again feature.

Back-up keeper David Button is likely to be in goal for Brighton and Seagulls boss Chris Hughton could make numerous other changes.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh could feature for the first time since returning from the Asian Cup with Iran and Beram Kayal and Anthony Knockaert are also likely to come into the starting 11.

Florin Andone, who has started both of Albion's FA Cup ties this season, is again likely to lead the line.
