West Brom have a defensive crisis ahead of the
home match against Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester
United.
Gabriel Tamas and Gonzalo Jara are both suspended, while Jonas
Olsson is back in training but has not recovered fully from his
Achilles injury.
Gianni Zuiverloon has been recalled from a loan spell at
Ipswich, though, and midfielder Chris Brunt will return to the team
after serving a suspension.
Sir Alex Ferguson may resist the temptation to draft Nani
straight back into his Manchester United starting line-up.
The Portugal winge has missed the Christmas programme so far due
to a minor hip complaint and although he is now training, Ferguson
is thinking about keeping him out until the clash with Stoke next
Tuesday.
Darren Fletcher is amongst those expecting a recall at The
Hawthorns as United look to secure only their second away win this
season.

West Brom (from): Carson, Cech, Ibanez, Morrison,
Barnes, Brunt, Reid, Myhill, Fortune, Dorrans, Shorey, Thomas,
Mulumbu, Zuiverloon, Meite, Odemwingie, Fortune, Tchoyi, Scharner,
