Hodgson set to ring changes

West Brom boss Roy Hodgson plans to hand some of his fringe players game time in tomorrow’s Carling Cup second round tie at Bournemouth.

The likes of Graham Dorrans and Marek Cech are likely to be given a run-out at the Fitness First Stadium.

Hodgson must decide whether to include the fit-again Peter Odemwingie after the striker’s cameo in Saturday’s Barclays Premier League defeat at Chelsea, while Jerome Thomas (hip and thigh) remains a doubt, and Zoltan Gera (ankle) is still out.

Provisional squad: Foster, Fulop, Reid, Tamas, Olsson, Shorey, Scharner, Brunt, Mulumbu, Morrison, Odemwingie, Long, Cech, Tchoyl, Ibanez, Thorne, Thomas, Dorrans, Jara, McAuley, Fortune, Bednar.
