Nacer Chadli, Matt Phillips in contention for Stoke City trip

Alan Pardew is handed a fitness boost ahead of this weekend's trip to Stoke City, as Matt Phillips and Nacer Chadli are expected to be in the West Bromwich Albion squad.

West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Pardew has revealed that Nacer Chadli and Matt Phillips will likely be in his plans for this weekend's meeting with Stoke City.

Chadli has been absent since the 1-0 defeat to Southampton in October with a thigh problem, while Phillips last featured five matches ago against Newcastle United.

Pardew is keen to get both players back up to full fitness for the busy festive period, having seen his side score just one goal in his four games since taking charge.

Speaking ahead of the trip to fellow strugglers Stoke, the 56-year-old said: "Chadli and Phillips are both training which is good news. In terms of players we have available, I think they will be taken [to Stoke].

"The top of the pitch is where it is dysfunctional a little bit. We have to find that better balance, against Manchester United we were further up the pitch. At Liverpool we did it nearly for 90 minutes.

"We have to complete a game where we get two or three goals which normally guarantees a win, otherwise we will always be under pressure."

West Brom are winless in 16 consecutive league games - the longest run in their league history - and are two points adrift of safety.
