Team News: Doyle starts as lone striker

Wolverhampton Wanderers' Kevin Doyle will play as a lone striker during this afternoon's Black Country derby against West Bromwich Albion.

Adam Hammill and Matt Jarvis take their place on the wings, while Slyvan Ebanks-Blake is fit enough for a return to the bench.

Hosts West Brom will also start the contest with one striker up front in the form of Shane Long.

Midfielders Chris Brunt and Jerome Thomas are likely to act as the main support to the Irish striker.

West Brom: Foster; Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Jones; Brunt, Mulumbu, Scharner, Thomas, Tchoyi; Long.

Wolves: Hennessey; Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward; Hammill, Henry, Milijas, Jarvis, O'Hara; Doyle.
