Wolves - West Brom Preview: Wanderers buoyed after ending nine-match winless streak, but Albion have only lost one in six away

WOLVES Hennessey Stearman, Johnson, Bassong, Ward Hunt, Milijas, Forde, Jarvis Doyle, Fletcher

WEST BROM   Foster Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Shorey Thomas, Morrison, Mulumbu, Cox Odemwingie, Fortune

Meanwhile, Michael Kightly is certain to miss the visit of West Brom with a back injury, while Karl Henry is serving the last of a three-match ban this weekend. Also, Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has returned from his loan spell at Molineux to his north London parent club this as a result of the ruptured cruciate ligament, sustained in the win over QPR, that will sideline him for the rest of the season.

West Brom manager Roy Hodgson is still without key man Chris Brunt, who isn’t expected back in training until early next month. Zoltan Gera is also set to miss the clash, while Shane Long and Graham Dorrans are major doubts to face Wolves.

• There have been just three Premier League meetings between Wolves and West Brom, with the two sides having a win apiece in addition to a 1-1 draw.

• Steven Fletcher (pictured right) is the Wanderers’ top-scorer this season with nine goals to his name.

• A loss for the hosts on Sunday would be their 70th in four seasons in the Premier League.

• Three points against QPR last weekend represented Mick McCarthy's 25th win in his 100th match as Wolves boss in the top-flight. The victory ended a dismal sequence of nine successive Premier League games without a win.

• Baggies striker Peter Odemwingie has scored in his last two outings against Wolves.

• Wolves have just one clean sheet to their name in their last 17 games; West Brom have managed just a single shut-out in 31 Premier League away fixtures.

• Roy Hodgson’s outfit have not won a game in February in six years spanning over 12 matches.

• Albion have earned 18 of their 26 points so far on the road - the sort of away form that would have seen them closer to a European spot if they hadn't let themselves down so much at home. They have lost just one of their last six away games (at Totteham).

• This weekend marks the first anniversary of Hodgson's appointment as Baggies boss in succession to the sacked Roberto Di Matteo, who is now assistant manager to Andre Villas-Boas at Chelsea.
