West Bromwich Albion v Newcastle United: match preview WBA (Probable, 4-5-1): Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgwell; Thomas, Scharner, Mulumbu, Morrison, Brunt; Long. Out Gera (knee), Reid (foot). Test Odemwingie (hamstring). Newcastle (Probable, 4-4-2): Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Perch; Ben Arfa, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Cisse. Out: R Taylor (calf), Lovenkrands (thigh), Best, Sa Ameobi (both knee), S Taylor (Achilles), Marveaux (groin). Tests: Tiote (hamstring), Simpson (abductor strain). Team News Jonas Olsson will return to Albion's defence after a one-match suspension and his probable recall alongside Gareth McAuley means Liam Ridgewell is likely to revert from central defence to left-back in place of Nicky Shorey. Albion are hopeful striker Peter Odemwingie will be fit after missing the 1-1 draw at Wigan last weekend with a hamstring injury. Midfielder Zoltan Gera and right-back Steven Reid remain long-term absentees. Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote is rated at 50-50 to return from injury at West Brom on Sunday. The Ivory Coast international missed last weekend's 1-0 win over Norwich with a hamstring problem and remains a doubt, although full-back Danny Simpson has a chance of returning from his adductor strain. Match Notes Europe remains a realistic ambition for Newcastle after they ended a four-match sequence without a Premier League victory by defeating Norwich last weekend. Alan Pardew will hope Papiss Cissé's superb winner signalled him finding his feet in English football. With safety all but assured, a top-half finish is the target for the Baggies, who are aiming for a third successive triumph at The Hawthorns. They are also unbeaten in their last six games against the Magpies. Betting: Home 5-4, Away 7-4, Draw 11-5. Stat of the game: Newcastle have conceded seven goals in their last two away games. Brendan McLoughlin's prediction: West Bromwich Albion 2 Newcastle United 2.
