Team News

  • Pavel Pogrebnyak won't make his debut for the club after replacing Bobby Zamora, who left to rejoin former Fulham boss Mark Hughes at QPR on deadline day, as he joined too late in the day.
  • He may partner Andy Johnson up front, while Chris Baird could continue to keep a place in midfield if Moussa Dembele cannot recover from injury.
  • Kerim Frei will hope to start ahead of Damien Duff on the wing, while Etuhu and Sidwell are also vying for centre-midfield berths.
  • Peter Odemwingie is fit and in contention to replace the likes of Cox and Fortune up front, though Shane Long is a doubt.
  • Right-backs Steven Reid and Billy Jones are both doubtful but returned to training ahead of Wednesday's game and are in competition for a starting berth.
  • Gareth McAuley and Jonas Olsson should reclaim their places in the heart of the backline as they were rested at the weekend, replacing Dawson and Tamas.
  • New signing Keith Andrews will start from the bench.

Prediction

  • Fulham have kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 4 matches against West Brom, including a bore draw at the Hawthorns earlier in the season.
  • The Cottagers have conceded just once and scored 15 goals in their last 5 home matches against Wednesday's opponents and have been impressive at home this season, not least against Newcastle last time out, winning 5-2.
  • However, West Brom have a superior away record to their one at home having picked up 5 of their 7 wins on their travels this season, boasting the 5th best away record in the league behind Chelsea, Tottenham, City and United.
  • PREDICTION: Draw 2-2
