Tom Fraser is recalled to the starting line-up for this afternoon's game against Oldham Athletic. The 20-year-old will partner Steven Thomson in midfield.

Adam El-Abd returns from suspension and will partner Tommy Elphick in defence. Joel Lynch is named on the bench, but there is no place for Guy Butters.

Albion's wait to see Jonny Dixon in first team action continues after the former Aldershot striker suffered a slight recurrence of his ankle injury in training on Friday.

David Martot returns among the substitutes after recovering from a shin injury.

Oldham are unchanged from the side which beat Yeovil 3-0 at Boundary Park last week.
