Ground: The Hawthorns

Manager: Gary Megson

Nickname: The Baggies

Position in table: 18th

Top scorer: Jason Koumas, Jason Roberts, Scott Dobie, Danny Dichio (three)

Last time out: Premiership - Man City 1 West Brom 2

How they lined up: Hoult; Clement, Gilchrist, Moore, Chambers; McInnes, Gregan, Koumas (Sigurdsson), Wallwork; Roberts, Hughes (Dichio). Subs: Murphy, Jordao, Dobie.

Selection update: Jason Roberts is likely to continue his strike partnership with Lee Hughes despite his sending off at Maine Road. Although he faces a three-match ban it will not come into effect until after the game with Wanderers.

Gary Megson will be without right-sided defender Igor Balis, who has been ruled out for the next three weeks.

Ex-Manchester United midfielder Michael Appleton is missing until March following his cruciate ligament injury.

Last six games played: Manchester C won 2-1, Charlton lost 1-0, Watford lost 1-0, Leeds drew 0-0, Man Utd lost 3-1, Bradford won 3-1.

Form guide: West Brom and Wanderers both head into Saturday's clash followng a morale-boosting victory last weekend. The win over City was Megson's first since November.

The Baggies have a worse home record than Wanderers, having lost six and drawn three of their 12 games this term.

They have only scored 12 times at The Hawthorns, and the fact that no player has scored on more than three occasions shows they have striking problems.

In their home games against the other Premiership strugglers West Brom have beaten Fulham and drawn against Sunderland and Birmingham.
