West Brom start for Ellington

West Brom manager Bryan Robson picked the perfect opportunity for Nathan Ellington to make his first start for the club – just four weeks after his £3m (€4.4m) move from Wigan.

Ellington, who scored 67 goals in 146 appearances for the Latics, partnered another former Wigan striker in Geoff Horsfield in attack for the Baggies as they looked to get back to winning ways after successive defeats to Chelsea and Birmingham.
