Team News: Brown Ideye replaces Victor Anichebe up front for West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion make two changes for their game against Aston Villa, with Victor Anichebe and Youssouf Mulumbu making way for Brown Ideye and Silvestre Varela.

West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Irvine has made two changes for his side's Premier League derby against Aston Villa at The Hawthorns this afternoon.

Striker Victor Anichebe is out with a groin injury, so his place is taken by Brown Ideye, while Silvestre Varela comes into midfield in place of Youssouf Mulumbu, who drops to the bench.

Forward Saido Berahino, who has not scored since October for the Baggies, remains on the bench.

Villa manager Paul Lambert has made just one one change as Kieran Richardson comes into the visiting starting XI for Ashley Westwood, who has been ruled out until January with a knee injury.

West Brom: Foster, Wisdom, Lescott, McAuley, Pocognoli, Gardner, Dorrans, Morrison, Varela, Sessegnon, Ideye
Subs: Myhill, Baird, Dawson, Gamboa, Mulumbu, Blanco, Berahino

Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Sanchez, Richardson, Cleverley, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke
Subs: Given, Weimann, Delph, Vlaar, Lowton, Grealish, Herd
