- Adam Le Fondre could be rewarded with a start up front alongside Pogrebnyak after netting a brace against Crawley in the cup.
- Leigertwood missed the game at weekend with a knock but could return, with Karacan, Tabb and Guthrie also vying for a centre midfield berth.
- At the back McDermott must choose between Mariappa and Morrison in the centre and Gunter and Cummings on the right.
- West Brom were dealt a blow with the news that Zoltan Gera will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
- Reid, Olsson and Popov remain doubts at the back, so the defence should remain unchanged.
- Long may get the nod over Lukaku after netting in the FA Cup tie with QPR when both got a rare chance to start together.
