Steve Clarke will have at least one change to make as prepares his side for the visit of Crystal Palace, with Morgan Amalfitano struggling to recover from a knee injury.

Whether it will be James Morrison coming back or somebody else remains to be seen.

Clarke could, technically, bring Morrison into the centre.

Will Albion really need two holding midfielders against Palace?

Probably not but it’s a change Clarke made for the Sunderland game earlier this season and it’s conceivable he’ll do it again.

Elsewhere, Markus Rosenberg might want to play but the chances of him making the squad remain slim.

He’s in good company. Graham Dorrans, Goran Popov, Steven Reid and Lee Camp have all failed to make the matchday 18 in recent weeks.

Camp is now on loan at Bournemouth, although Albion do have a 24-hour recall should they need him back at any point.

Elsewhere, Clarke is expected to keep faith with the same defence – despite last weekend’s 4-1 defeat.

Scott Sinclair remains sidelined with a hamstring injury although he does have a slim chance of being back in the fold if he recovers in time. It would be fair to assume that Albion certainly won’t rush him.

The remaining decisions are what to do up front – Nicolas Anelka, Victor Anichebe or somebody else? And Saido Berahino will fancy his chances of a run-out having been left on the bench at Liverpool last week.
