Nigel Quashie
PLANNING FOR NIGEL...Quashie returns from injury

NIGEL Quashie replaces the suspended Jonathan Greening in central midfield as Tony Mowbray makes three changes to the side beaten 1-0 by Norwich last weekend.

Quashie makes his first appearance in four games following  an ankle injury.

Paul Robinson makes an immediate return from a three-game ban at left-back as Martin Albrechtsen switches to right-back and Paul McShane drops to the bench.

Steve Watson is also relegated to the dugout as Nathan Ellington is recalled to partner Kevin Phillips in attack. Eight-goal Diomansy Kamara moves to right-midfield.

Zoltan Gera misses out through a calf injury while John Hartson is not included in the Baggies boss' 16-man squad.

Steve Cotterill names an unchanged side to the one that suffered their first away defeat of the season in a 1-0 reverse at league leaders Cardiff last Saturday.

Former Baggies Brian Jensen and James O'Connor both start for the Clarets.
