West Brom v Reading - Preview

West Bromwich Albion take on a struggling Reading side tomorrow afternoon in their first home fixture since defeat to Crystal Palace ended their unbeaten run on 26th September. Last seasons promotion hopefuls Reading will be looking to move out of 21st place after a disasterous start to the season. A win for the Baggies could put them back on level points with division leaders Newcastle.

For West Brom both striker Luke Moore and midfielder Graham Dorrans have recovered from knee and foot injuries respectively in time to feature tomorrow.  Goalkeeper Scott Carson also looks set to feature having recovered from an ankle injury, but Chris Brunt will remain sidelined as he struggles to over come a calf strain.

Jerome Thomas is also in contention for a starting place for Albion tomorrow having served his suspension period.

Reading expect to have Noel Hunt fully fit for the fixture at the Hawthorns tomorrow, as well as striker Grzegorz Rasiak, who appears to have shaken off the knock he picked up before the international break.

West Brom striker Simon Cox will be hoping for a chance to play against his former side tomorrow, having never started a first team match for Reading he moved to Swindon to kick start his career before moving to Albion over the summer for £1.5 million, after his 32 goals last campaign impressed.
