Team News West Brom head coach Roy Hodgson will check on the fitness of six first-team regulars before naming his side to face Norwich. Hodgson has to assess the chances of centre-backs Gareth McAuley and Jonas Olsson, winger Jerome Thomas, midfielders Paul Scharner and Youssouf Mulumbu plus striker Shane Long being available. Skipper Chris Brunt , fellow midfielder Zoltan Gera and defender Steven Reid are definitely ruled out. Goalkeeper John Ruddy returns to the Norwich squad after missing the FA Cup win against Burnley after his partner gave birth to a daughter. Full-back Marc Tierney is back in training after recovering from a groin injury. On-loan Manchester United defender Ritchie De Laet (back) is still out. Centre-forward James Vaughan and defender Elliott Ward are still several weeks from returning. Match Notes When Albion's Peter Odemwingie struck the only goal of the game in last September's meeting, Norwich were left with just two points from their first four matches back in the top flight and contemplating a season of struggle. Credit, then, to Paul Lambert's men, who have surged into the top half having suffered just one defeat in their last seven outings. West Bromwich, however, are slipping the other way, having to score in their last three league matches. Betting: Home 21-20, Away 5-2, Draw 5-2. Stat of the game: Albion and are looking for their fifth straight league win over Norwich. Ben Findon's prediction: West Bromwich Albion 1 Norwich City 1.
