Premier League Preview: West Brom - West Ham
Steve Clarke's side is on the second-worst run of form in the Premier League, having lost three in a row, and face a tough task up against Sam Allardyce's resurgent team.

WEST BROM
 Myhill Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Popov Mulumbu, Morrison Odemwingie, Gera, Brunt Long |
WEST HAM
 Jaaskelainen Demel, Collins, Reid, O'Brien Tomkins, Noble Taylor, Nolan, Jarvis Cole |
West Brom is likely to still be without influential midfielder Claudio Yacob (hamstring), first-choice keeper Ben Foster (groin), and Liam Ridgewell (ankle), though the trio are reported to have returned to light training this week.
In their place will be Boaz Myhill continuing in goal, Goran Popov likely deputizing at left-back again, and James Morrison likely dropping into a deeper role alongside Youssouf Mulumbu.
West Ham will be without influential midfielder Mohamed Diame for some time after he picked up a hamstring injury. Sam Allardyce is likely to deploy James Tomkins as a defensive midfielder instead, or, alternatively, Yossi Benayoun could come into the side.
Elsewhere, the Hammers will be without Andy Carroll (knee) and Ricardo Vaz Te (shoulder), who are both long-term absentees, while Jack Collison (knee) and Alou Diarra (thigh) are closing in on a return, but are not expected back for this one.
