Preview: West Bromwich Albion vs. Hull City

Managerless West Bromwich Albion begin life without head coach Steve Clarke as they host Hull City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Baggies have lost their last four league games in a row and have not won since the start of November, which has seen them slip to 16th in the table.

Steve Bruce's side are looking a bit more comfortable in 12th, although their recent form of just one win in six must improve if they are not to slide down the table.

The hosts could be boosted by the return of Ben Foster, who has claimed that he is fit to play again, and apart from him they have a full squad available.

Sone Aluko is still recovering from his Achilles injury and with no fresh injury concerns Bruce could name the same lineup from the game against Stoke City last time out.
