Shane Long returns to his point of departure this evening when West Bromwich Albion visit Leeside to play Cork City in a friendly game which will be both a little nostalgia trip for the Republic of Ireland striker and also another chance to impress his club boss on the eve of a new Premier League season.

Republic of Ireland international Shane Long says he is being driven on by the fear factor at West Brom.

West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke made 10 changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur for the Capital One Cup second round tie at Yeovil Town.
