Gilmour, Colwill, Estupinan, Enciso – Graham Potter's perfect starting XI to face Leicester after transfer deadline
Albion have enjoyed a good start to the Premier League season and are fourth in the table with 10 points from four matches.
Potter will also be relieved to see the back of the transfer window, having lost key men Yves Bissouma, Marc Cucrella and Neal Maupay for a combined total of more than £100m.

Brighton also managed to keep hold of talented young midfielder Moises Caicedo despite strong interest from Liverpool.
Many Albion fans wanted a new striker – especially after a lacklustre display at Fulham on Tuesday – but Graham Potter insists he’s happy with his options in attacking areas.
Brighton remain without Adam Lallana for Sunday’s visit of Leicester but new boy Gilmour could make his debut.

Gilmour is available following his move from Chelsea and Joel Veltman is fit but the game could come too soon for attacker Jeremy Sarmiento despite his return to training.
Here’s how Albion could line-up against Leicester: Sanchez; Webster, Dunk, Colwill; March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Gilmour, Trossard; Enciso, Welbeck.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers could hand a debut to new signing Wout Faes at the Amex.
