Team News: Two changes each for West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United

Two changes each for Baggies, Hammers

West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United have each made two changes for their FA Cup last-16 clash at The Hawthorns this lunchtime.

The hosts are without cup-tied January signing Darren Fletcher, with Craig Gardner replacing him in midfield, and prefer Stephane Sessegnon to Callum McManaman on the wing.

Club-record buy Brown Ideye, who has two goals in his last two games, continues up front alongside Saido Berahino, while Chris Brunt is again asked to play at left-back.

The Hammers, who are without crocked striker Andy Carroll, sacrifice Carlton Cole from the attacking lineup that drew 0-0 at Southampton on Wednesday.

Morgan Amaliftano also drops out as Kevin Nolan and Mark Noble return in the centre of the park. Goalkeeper Adrian is available after seeing his red card from the St Mary's Stadium stalemate overturned.

West Brom: Foster; Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Brunt; Gardner, Yacob, Morrison, Sessegnon, Berahino, Ideye Subs: Myhill, Baird, Olsson, McManaman, Pocognoli, Gamboa, Wisdom

West Ham: Adrian; Jenkinson, Tomkins, Kouyate, Cresswell; Song, Noble, Nolan, Downing; Sakho, Valencia Subs: Jaaskelainen, Demel, O'Brien, Henry, Amalfitano, Lee, Cole
