Team news ahead of West Brom's Premier League clash with Everton at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

West Brom boss Steve Clarke will check on the fitness of several key players before finalising his side.

Defenders Steven Reid, Jonas Olsson and Liam Ridgewell, midfielders James Morrison, Graham Dorrans and Jerome Thomas plus strikers Peter Odemwingie and Romelu Lukaku all missed the midweek Capital One Cup tie at Yeovil.

Four of the eight returned to training on Thursday with Clarke indicating another two will join in on Friday, although he is keeping his cards close to his chest as to who will be available against the Toffees.

Everton boss David Moyes has a fully-fit squad to select from.

Phil Neville is available despite having to come off towards the end of Wednesday night's Capital One Cup second-round victory over Leyton Orient with a hamstring problem, as is defender Tony Hibbert, who has missed the last two games with a neck injury.

The Toffees have agreed a fee with FC Copenhagen for versatile Costa Rica international Bryan Oviedo, although it seems unlikely he will play any part against the Baggies.

WBA (from): Foster, Myhill, Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Ridgewell, Jara Reyes, Tamas, Dawson, Jones, Dorrans, Yacob, Mulumbu, Morrison, Brunt, Gera, El Ghanassy, Thomas, Fortune, Long, Rosenberg, Odemwingie, Lukaku.

Everton (from): Howard, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Hibbert, Neville, Gibson, Fellaini, Pienaar, Osman, Jelavic, Naismith, Mucha, Heitinga, Coleman, Anichebe, Barkley, Gueye, Mirallas, Vellios, Duffy, Garbutt.
