Lewis Cox's predicted West Brom line-up for crucial relegation six-pointer at Portsmouth
Albion head to Portsmouth for a crunch relegation six-pointer looking for a first away league win since October 1.
Boss Eric Ramsay is looking for a first win at the helm in his fourth game in charge. Ramsay had underlined the importance of having a full week's worth of training heading to the Fratton Park clash.
The Baggies were this week dealt a huge blow as attacker Karlan Grant was ruled out for potentially the remainder of the season as he requires hamstring surgery.
That will result in at least one change from the Derby line-up last Friday, though replacement Samuel Iling-Junior played most of the Rams clash due to the early injury.
Krystian Bielik's setback with a dislocated shoulder - forecast at three to four weeks - means he is another who will not be involved. It will be interesting to see how Ramsay shapes up his back three.
Albion completed the loan signing of Crystal Palace right wing-back Danny Imray on Friday and, despite the fact he has not featured since January 10 for former loan club Blackpool, there is a strong chance he comes straight in for an immediate debut.
Imray's inclusion would free up Isaac Price to shift from wing-back to a more natural attacking midfield role and that would be timely given Grant's absence. The smart money would be on Price and Mikey Johnston supporting striker Aune Heggebo.
