West Brom v QPR preview

Friday 13-April-2012 09:38

West Brom skipper Chris Brunt and left-back Liam Ridgewell are both expected to be fit.

The duo both missed the midweek 4-0 defeat away to Manchester City with minor knee problems.

Head coach Roy Hodgson rotated his squad at the Etihad Stadium and strikers Marc-Antoine Fortune and Peter Odemwingie will come back into contention to start against Rangers.

Midfielders Zoltan Gera and James Morrison (both knee) and right-back Steven Reid (foot) remain on the injury list.

Manager Mark Hughes has selection problems in attack ahead of QPR's trip to West Brom as they look to put their away-day blues behind them.

Jamie Mackie, who scored in his side's 3-0 win over Swansea in midweek, and fellow frontman Bobby Zamora have both picked up knocks, leaving Hughes light up front should the duo be declared unfit.

Djibril Cisse is also out, serving the final game of his four-match ban, but Shaun Derry will return in midfield having served his one-match suspension.
