Pepe Mel will name an unchanged Albion team against Tottenham tomorrow if midfielder James Morrison shakes off an ankle injury.

Morrison faces a late fitness test but is expected to be given the all-clear, with Mel announcing yesterday he is keen to name the same team that started last weekend's 1-0 win at Norwich.

The Spaniard confirmed captain Chris Brunt, who is available ahead of schedule after knee ligament trouble, will replace Morrison if the Scotland international fails to recover.

Billy Jones and Claudio Yacob are both back from hamstring injuries and are likely to be among the substitutes.

Meanwhile, Mel believes Zoltan Gera will be fit for a probable Albion swansong at the end of the season despite being ruled out for up to four weeks with a hamstring injury.
