Carling Cup first round draw
Albion and Walsall have both been handed trips to the North-West in the Carling Cup first round.
The Baggies will travel to League Two Bury and the Saddlers go to Accrington Stanley in the week commencing August 10.
Albion - who won the competition in 1966 - last played the Shakers in 1999 in the old Division One and the game gives veteran goalkeeper Dean Kiely the chance to face his former club.
The 37-year-old was in goal that day for Bury in Albion's 1-0 win at the Hawthorns 10 years ago.
And the Greater Manchester club have beaten the Baggies in League Cup before, winning 1-0 in fourth round at Gigg Lane in 1977.
Albion will be looking to avoid the embarrassment of last season, when they lost 3-1 in extra time to League One Hartlepool in the first round.
Walsall go to League Two Accrington's Interlink Express Stadium for just the second time, bidding to reach the second round for the first time in three years.
