West Bromwich Albion will be looking to ensure they keep hold of 2nd place in the Championship table this afternoon with a win at Home Park. The Baggies reclaimed the second automatic promotion spot from Nottingham Forest with a midweek win over in form Blackpool. Today they face the now infamous 'Green Army' - a side which they Midlanders don't normally have trouble scoring goals against.
Albion have netted at least two goals in each of their last four meetings with Plymouth, emerging victors on each occassion. Argyle are currently 22 places behind West Brom and already 5 points adrift from safety - not perhaps the best time then to be facing the division's top scorers.
WBA have two main injury worries for this afternoon - both of them resulting from the midweek win at Blackpool. Ishmael Miller who was brought down in the box for the penalty which ensured Albion all 3 points, is almost certain to miss out for the next two to three weeks with an ankle problem. Marek Cech was the other casualty of that game - limping off with a hamstring strain.
Argyle will wait on a late fitness test to decide whether Yoann Folly will feature this afternoon - he struggles to over come the knee injury which kept him out of last week's defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
New signings Damien Johnson and Kenny Cooper are both expected to make their debuts for Plymouth this afternoon.
