Robson reverting to last week's line-up

West Brom manager Bryan Robson reverted to the starting line-up which had drawn 2-2 at Middlesbrough last weekend for the home clash with Chris Coleman’s side.

Curtis Davies, Steve Watson, Tomasz Kuszczak, Jonathan Greening and Kanu all returned after not featuring in the mid-week Carling Cup tie at Manchester United.

Fulham were also unchanged with Coleman keeping faith with the players who had triumphed 2-1 against Bolton – their third successive home win.

Skipper Luis Boa Morte was fit enough to play even though he had been troubled during the build-up to the game by a hamstring problem.

Fulham were seeking their first away victory of the campaign, having collected only two points out of a possible 21 away from Craven Cottage.

West Brom: Kuszczak, Watson, Curtis Davies, Clement, Robinson, Greening, Wallwork, Inamoto, Kamara, Kanu, Ellington. Subs: Hoult, Horsfield, Albrechtsen, Carter, Earnshaw.

Fulham: Crossley, Volz, Goma, Bocanegra, Rosenior, Malbranque, Diop, Boa Morte, John, McBride, Radzinski. Subs: Legwinski, Knight, Helguson, Warner, Pearce.
