FA Cup - West Brom vs. Norwich City

West Bromwich Albion host Premier League opponents Norwich City at the Hawthorns tomorrow for an FA Cup fourth-round tie.

The domestic competition is the only chance both sides have of claiming a trophy this season.

Roy Hodgson has stated that he is likely to make changes in the Baggies side with one eye on their league match against Fulham on Wednesday. It is possible that Nicky Shorey will start at right-back with Gareth McAuley and Craig Dawson holding the defence.

Billy Jones has missed West Brom's last two fixtures with a hamstring strain but could return to the starting lineup, replacing Paul Scharner who is dealing with an injury.

Paul Lambert is likely to hand new signing Jonny Howson his debut in midfield with Steve Morison and Grant Holt leading the line.

Current form:

West Brom: WDLLLW Norwich: DLDWWD

Possible lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Jara, McAuley, Dawson, Shorey; Morrison, Jones, Tchoyi, Dorrens; Fortune, Cox

Norwich: Ruddy; Whitbread, Ayala, Martin, Tierney; Johnson, Howson, Pilkington, Hoolahan; Morison, Holt

Sports Mole says: 1-2
