Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Brighton vs West Brom in the Premier League on Sunday; Kick-off 5.30pm.

Team news

Danny Welbeck could make his Brighton debut in the home clash with West Bom on Monday.

Boss Graham Potter has said the forward has made "a really good first impression" following his arrival on a one-year deal, and that a late decision will be made about his involvement ahead of the game.

Davy Propper and Christian Walton are also being assessed, while Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Jose Izquierdo remain unavailable and skipper Lewis Dunk starts a three-match ban following his red card in the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

West Brom will be without Sam Field for the trip to the Amex. The midfielder twisted his knee before the international break and is likely to be out for up to five weeks.

Hal Robson-Kanu remains sidelined with a broken wrist he suffered in the 2-0 defeat at Southampton earlier this month. Kieran Gibbs is in contention having been left out of the squad for the 0-0 draw with Burnley.

Jones Knows' prediction

I'd be worried for West Brom's defence through the middle in this one.

Branislav Ivanovic coped relatively well on his Premier League comeback against the brutish Burnley attack but will face a completely different test up against Neal Maupay, Aaron Connolly and Leandro Trossard. At 36, he may lack the pace to stop a talented Brighton front-line. Plus, West Brom have yet to register an expected goal figure above 1.00 in any of their first five games. This looks a straightforward home win if Brighton turn up.

An angle to note is the likely match-up between Grady Diangana and Tariq Lamptey as the West Brom man is the most fouled player in the Premier League this season. Lamptey isn't afraid of a challenge, shown by his 11 fouls conceded this season which is the fourth most in the league. The 4/1 on him to be booked looks juicy.

JONES KNOWS PREDICTS: 3-1 (12/1 with Sky Bet)
