TEAM NEWS

West Brom will be without midfielder Claudio Yacob, who remains in Argentina because of a family bereavement.

The Baggies are confident Stephane Sessegnon will be fit enough to return to the bench this weekend.

Bournemouth striker Joshua King injured his hamstring against Manchester United but is expected to play on Saturday.

Winger Marc Pugh may be involved after injury, but manager Eddie Howe could name an unchanged side for the third successive league match.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

Alan Green: "While, clearly, Tony Pulis incurred the wrath of Jurgen Klopp  for West Brom's reliance on 'long balls' last Sunday, the Baggies' manager is rightly concentrating on his primary task - keeping the club in the Premier League. I wonder, though, if he looks on with a little envy at the contrast in views displayed towards Eddie Howe.

"I never hear a word of criticism about the Bournemouth boss, who clearly decided promotion wasn't an excuse to ditch the attractive principles underlying their football. Whether in defeat or, recently, in those victories at Chelsea and against Manchester United, the Cherries are a joy to watch.

"Is it conceivable, in this 'daft' season, they can win a third consecutive game?"

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY

West Brom head coach Tony Pulis: "They've got some good players. I think their running stats are absolutely fantastic.

"We outran Liverpool by 4,000m on Sunday during that game.

"If you look at Bournemouth's stats, Bournemouth have outrun everyone this year, we expect a real, real tough game."

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "It's been an incredible few days, and that just goes to show the swings in football.

"Before those two games we had had a difficult spell and everyone was questioning the things that we were doing.

"But this week has swung all of that around for us. Now we need to make sure that it doesn't swing around again.

"West Brom are a very disciplined, organised and well drilled side. We need to make sure that we match their strengths and then impose ours."

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

I was at Anfield to see West Brom draw with Liverpool last week and the Baggies' point was fully deserved.

They completely unhinged Liverpool at set-pieces and I think West Brom boss Tony Pulis will have a plan for beating Bournemouth too.
