Ashley Barnes is back from his Bolton ban for Blackpool's visit.
* Albion manager Gus Poyet is relieved to have more options for Blackpool's visit on Saturday.

* Wingers Will Buckley and Kazenga LuaLua and right-back Bruno are all back in the frame, along with striker Ashley Barnes after completing his seven-match ban.

* Poyet said: "We know that sometimes, depending on the game, we need pace, players that in a one v one situation can go past people. That opens games up, especially at home, and we have been playing a few games without any of those players, so it's always great to have Bucker and Kazenga available.

* "Then, for a club like us, when we have a player with the quality of Bruno, who has been playing at the highest level in Spain in Champions League games, it's also an extra quality you can add.

* "Of course, Calde (Inigo Calderon) has been excellent, because we know how much we can rely on him, how fit he is and how much he cares for the club. It wasn't an issue during the time Bruno was missing but it's always good to have all the options open, especially because we play too many games and we need to be careful with the players that are playing 90 minutes every game."

* Barnes is likely to be on the bench after serving a suspension for attempting to trip referee Nigel Miller at Bolton.

* Poyet said: "He is delighted, happy, a different person, because the first two weeks, when you look ahead and have a month-and-a-half before you come back, it's terrible.

* "If you are injured you can't do anything about it. But, when you are training every day and there is nothing at the end of the week, the problem is he knows it was his own mistake, so there is nobody to blame.

* "He is ready, desperate but we need to try to calm that desperation down, just in case."
