West Brom will fly to Barcelona on Tuesday for a training camp as part of their preparations for Saturday’s FA Cup tie with Southampton.
Alan Pardew's side play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday Night Football but will then fly to Spain to use Espanyol's training facilities ahead of their fifth round game against Saints at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies boss is friends with former Watford manager and current Espanyol boss Enrique Sanchez Flores.
"It's something I have always done and always found very beneficial," Pardew told West Brom's official website.
"We're looking forward to changing the schedule and getting some freshness into the group for the run-in.
"The facilities are excellent and there is an opportunity to get in some quality training time with the players. Tottenham went there a few weeks ago and have had a very good run since returning."
Watch Chelsea v West Brom on Monday Night Football. Coverage begins on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League at 7pm.
