Neil Lennon has urged his Bolton Wanderers side to honour the memory of Phil Gartside by escaping relegation as they bid to upset Albion.
Bolton head for the Amex on Saturday boosted by seven points from the last nine in their efforts to beat the drop but crushed by the death of long-serving chairman Phil Gartside, aged 63, due to cancer.
Lennon said: "I would like to think the players can make a stand for Phil now and do something positive in his memory. That is to survive.
"Hopefully through all of the bad times, something good can now come out of it to drive the club forward.
"I will miss him terribly. We had a great relationship. He hasn't been around for a couple months and there has been a big hole."
The Trotters will be without Liam Trotter (hamstring) for the journey south.
There is also a doubt over striker Gary Madine, who scored Bolton's last-gasp equaliser in the 2-2 draw against Albion's ten men at the Macron Stadium in September.
