FROM THE DUGOUT
'I don't want to make this game too big.
'It is one of 46 and each point is important, each point counts. Perhaps the pressure is a bit more on West Brom, because where they are coming from they have a bigger opportunity to fight for automatic promotion.
'They are at home, we are ahead of them in the table, but it is important we travel with self-confidence and without too much pressure. It is not like after this game the season is done, whether we win or not.'
Daniel Farke
'We've got a tough game which we hope will be a great game. It's a game that we all look forward to.
'Everybody is talking about the game because of where the two teams are in the league. We're at home in front of our own crowd and we'll be looking to continue our good form here.
'Norwich are a good team but so are we. The ground will be buzzing with the noise of the Albion fans and that's what we want.
'Norwich have shown resilience and fighting spirit and they're the ingredients you need at the top end of the table. They are no exception.'

POSSIBLE LINE-UPS
West Brom (4-4-1-1): Johnstone, Adarabioyo, Dawson, Bartley, Gibbs, Phillips, Barry, Morrison, Field, Robson-Kanu, Rodriguez.
Norwich (4-2-3-1): Krul, Aarons, Zimmermann, Godfrey, Lewis, Vrancic, Tettey, Hernandez, Buendia, Cantwell, Pukki.
BOSS FOCUS - DARREN MOORE
Did enough in a caretaker spell to get the job full-time despite West Brom's relegation from the Premier League. Tough centre back in his playing days who spent five years at the Hawthorns.
ONE TO WATCH - WES HOOLAHAN
No introduction needed after his distinguished career in green and yellow.
But Hoolahan could feature against his old club as he looks to extend his short term deal at the Hawthorns next week. Neither party you suspect would like to see that.
BY THE BOOK
West Brom : 23/20
Draw: 13/5
Norwich: 21/10

REFEREE - SCOTT DUNCAN (NORTHUMBERLAND)
