The Baggies have slipped from fourth place down to sixth in the Premier League table following a run of disappointing results but manager Steve Clarke will be hoping that his side can snatch all three points from the Hammers.

West Ham reside in 11th spot and boss Sam Allardyce will be urging his men to make up for their 3-2 defeat to Liverpool last weekend and the former Championship outfit can move nearer to the top six with a victory.

Clarke is likely to start with Shane Long up front, with Peter Odemwingie, Zoltan Gera and Chris Brunt providing service to the striker, while Allardyce is likely to keep Carlton Cole up top as loan forward Andy Carroll remains sidelined with a knee problem.
