There is no doubt that the priority for Darren Moore and West Bromwich Albion remains winning promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

And that task continues to go pretty well with the Baggies currently sat in third place and three points behind second-placed Norwich City as we enter what will be an intense second-half of the season.

But focus will need to shift temporarily from the second-tier scrap and onto the FA Cup where West Brom travel to Brighton for their fourth-round tie on Saturday.

A Bakary Sako header saw off Wigan Athletic at the Hawthorns in the third-round but coming up against top-flight opposition is a different kettle of fish entirely.

As much as Moore's focus will remain on the Championship promotion race, and rightly so, he will want to put in a good showing against the Seagulls.

With all factors taken into account, here is the XI he should line-up with at the Amex tomorrow...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having started their last cup fixture I fully expect second-choice Jonathan Bond to continue in goal at Brighton, saving Sam Johnstone for their league return against QPR.

Moore would be wise to stick with a fairly strong back-line. As much as he will not be concerned about being eliminated from the tournament, a hammering could have a knock-on effect on their league form.

Hence, Kyle Bartley should come in for Craig Dawson in the only change to the back line, with Gibbs, Hegazi and Holgate continuing.

A mixture of youth and experience should make up the midfield diamond with James Morrison being flanked by Sam Field and Chris Brunt and exciting youngster Rekeem Harper in the attacking midfield role.

Moore should certainly take the opportunity to rest both Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez, handing starts to Bakary Sako and Hal Robson-Kanu instead.
