ISHMAEL Miller returns from a four-game hamstring injury lay-off to partner Kevin Phillips in attack as Tony Mowbray makes two changes to the side that lost 2-1 at Barnsley on Saturday.

The giant pace ace replaces Roman Bednar, who misses out altogether with a thigh strain.

Robert Koren misses his second successive game with a bruised calf and Zoltan Gera has also been ruled out through injury.

Bostjan Cesar loses his place at centre-half and is not included in the Baggies' 16-man squad, with Leon Barnett recalled at centre-half.

Bryan Robson makes three changes to the Blades side that drew 0-0 with ten-man Scunthorpe at the weekend.

Stephen Quinn, Matthew Kilgallon and Luton Shelton come in, while Michael Tonge and Ugo Ehiogu are left out altogether, and former Baggie Rob Hulse drops to the bench.
