West Brom may well take a welcome break from Premiership life tomorrow evening, but an away trip to League One's Hartlepool will be no easy venture. Hartlepool pulled an impressive 3-0 victory over Scunthorpe in the first round of the Carling Cup, and with their league form seeing them drop to 16th in the table with just one win in three, a win against top flight Albion would be a welcome remedy
Tony Mowbray's boys however will be searching for that first elusive victory of the season, and with an impressive display ending in unlucky defeat against Everton at the weekend, confidence from the Baggie boys will be high.
Luke Moore has recovered from a thigh injury and looks set to play some part in tomorrow evening's Carling Cup fixture.
Mowbray may well also use the opportunity to play some of his rested players, including Dean Kiely, Carl Hoefkens, Marek Cech, Craig Beattie, Roman Bednar, Pele and Sherjill MacDonald.
Hartlepool on the other hand are likely to start with youngster Alan Power, who will replace midfielder Willie Boland after his injury during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Stockport.
