Sam Baldock has been thrust straight back into the Brighton & Hove Albion starting lineup for today's game away at Sheffield Wednesday.

The striker has been missing recently with a hamstring injury, but he returns today to take the place of Jake Forster-Caskey.

Wednesday skipper Glenn Loovens was expected to take a late fitness test, but he doesn't make today's squad as the home side make five changes from the team that lost at Ipswich Town on Tuesday.

Jose Semedo, Liam Palmer, Kamil Zayate, Jacques Maghoma and Sergio Bus all start for the Owls as they hope to claim their first win in six games.

Subs: Kirkland, Mattock, Hutchinson, May, Nuhiu, Dielna, Vermijl.
