Kerry Mayo has been recalled to the starting line-up for tonight's match at Withdean against Hull City.

It is the 28-year-old's first appearance since the home match against Norwich at the start of October.

With Gary Elphick suspended for this game, manager Mark McGhee has reverted to a 4-4-2 formation. 

Paul Reid will move to right-back and Gary Hart returns upfront to lead the line with Colin Kazim-Richards, who is rewarded with a starting place following his tremendous consolation goal at Reading last Saturday.

On the bench Mark McCammon returns from injury and 18-year-old Tommy Elphick takes his place in a home Albion line-up for the first time. Leon Knight is left out of the squad altogether.

Kazim-Richards : Looking for Goal No. 5

For Hull, former Albion manager Peter Taylor makes two changes to the side that has recorded back-to-back victories over Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday.

Stuart Elliott and Jason Price come in for Mark Lynch and Billy Paynter, who both drop to the bench.
