If the plan was to sell Hemed, I don't get why we would be starting him today if Murray is fit? That doesn't seem to make any rhyme or reason

I'd love to see Murray start upfront with Izquierdo playing just off him.
I really am hopeful that he is going to be dynamite for us. In the ten minutes he played at Watford he showed glimpses of incredible pace and a mate who supports Leicester says that he single handedly destroyed them in the Champions League last season.

Somewhat optimistically, I've gone for the second option.

I'm thinking along those lines too.

I think Brighton should play to their strengths which is the pace and movement of their attackers and their wide players. On that basis, I would be inclined to play Izqueirdo up front with Knockaert and March out wide and Gross in the number 10 position.
That might seem a bit leftfield and certainly Izqueirdo isn't blessed with height, but I think maybe Brighton should focus less on aerial crosses and more on the movement of their front 4. The strength of West Brom's defence is their physical combativeness, they are big units and they play ostensibly centre backs across their whole back line. But their weakness is that they are not the most mobile and so pace and movement will cause them a few problems.
West Brom are generally well organised so lining up in a way that Tony Pulis isn't anticipating is potentially a good strategy for catching them off-guard.
