Tests: Olsson (groin), Reid (ankle), Popov, Mulumbu, Yacob (all hamstring). Fulham (Possible, 4-4-1-1): Schwarzer; Riether, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Dejagah, Sidwell, Karagounis, Frei; Ruiz; Berbatov. Out: Etheridge (leg), Davies (hip), Diarra (knee), Petric (leg). Tests: Schwarzer (neck), Duff (calf). Team News West Brom check several players ahead of the home Premier League clash with Fulham. Defenders Jonas Olsson (groin), Steven Reid (ankle) and Goran Popov (hamstring) and midfielders Youssouf Mulumbu and Claudio Yacob (both hamstring) all missed the 2-0 defeat at Manchester United. Midfielder George Thorne could make another start against the Cottagers after impressing at Old Trafford following his recall from a loan spell at Peterborough. Fulham, meanwhile, are hoping Mark Schwarzer will be fit to return at West Brom. David Stockdale endured a difficult time when deputising for the injured Schwarzer in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Swansea, and manager Martin Jol is keeping his fingers crossed his number one will be back at The Hawthorns. Damien Duff is battling to be fit but the game is set to come too soon for Mahamadou Diarra and Mladen Petric. Match Notes Steve Clarke's squad is stretched as he prepares for his fourth game in ten days but remains adamant there will be no transfer activity at the Hawthorns this month. Albion's hopes of a return to Europe remain alive and Clarke made seven changes against Manchester United last weekend in a bid to orioritise and keep his team fresh for the visit of Martin Jol's unpredictable side. Fulham have only one victory from their last 12 games and the nature of recent defeats have increased fears it could be a nailbiting end to the campaign. Betting: Home Evs, Away 13-5, Draw 5-2. Stat of the game: In six Premier League visits to The Hawthorns, Fulham have never won. John Percy's prediction: West Bromwich Albion 3 Fulham 2.
