TEAMS NEWS
Albion boss Gus Poyet makes three changes to the side that lost 2-1 at Barnsley on Tuesday night which includes a return to the starting line-up for skipper Gordon Greer and Kazenga LuaLua.
Scottish defender Greer has not started since Albion's FA Cup tie with Arsenal during January but returns to at the expense of Adam El-Abd who begins a two-game suspension for*accumulating*ten yellow cards.
Winger LuaLua impressed from the bench on Tuesday night and has been handed his first start since New Year's Day; Dean Hammond drops to the bench.
Meanwhile, Wayne Bridge missed the trip to Oakwell owing to a hamstring injury and returns to left-back this afternoon; Bruno misses out with a calf problem and Inigo Calderon switches to right-back.
Marcos Painter has been recalled from his loan move to Bournemouth and has been named on the*substitutes*bench.
Palace boss Ian Holloway makes just one change to the side that drew 2-2 with Leeds United last weekend.
Albion striker Stephen Dobbie is on loan at Selhurst Park but he is unable to play today so drops out of the matchday squad. Jazz Richards replaces him in the starting XI while Danny Gabbidon has been named on the bench.
