Yacob and Long among Baggies doubts

West Brom boss Steve Clarke will check on the fitness of a trio of players before finalising his side for tomorrow evening’s Barclays Premier League derby with Aston Villa at the Hawthorns.

Midfielder Claudio Yacob (hamstring) and strikers Shane Long (dead leg) and Marc-Antoine Fortune (hamstring) will be assessed to see if they are ready to return after recent spells on the side-lines.
