Team news and stats ahead of West Brom vs Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday; kick-off 3pm.
Grady Diangana could return for West Brom's crucial basement battle against Fulham after shaking off a hamstring injury.
The winger has returned to training having missed the last four games while Robert Snodgrass should recover from a minor knee problem.
Striker Mbaye Diagne was due to arrive at the club on Friday to complete his loan move from Galatasaray but will be too late to feature on Saturday.
Scott Parker will continue to be without Tom Cairney and Terence Kongolo for Fulham's trip to The Hawthorns, but has no fresh injury concerns.
The Fulham boss revealed on Thursday that Cairney has started new treatment on an ongoing knee problem, but the captain could still face weeks on the sidelines.
Antonee Robinson will be available again after completing a three-match ban for a red card against Chelsea on January 16.

Fulham have been strong in the market for this six-pointer which will be full of bite in the tackle and tension. They are now approaching evens for the away win but look a ludicrously short betting proposition considering they are a hugely unreliable side at winning football matches.
Yes, Scott Parker has got them playing some silky stuff through midfield, but they remain shoddy in both boxes. It has been 10 games since they won a match in the Premier League, scoring just four goals in their last nine games.
It is harsh to define West Brom by their defeat to Manchester City, who would have ripped through almost every team in the division playing at that performance level. These are the types of matches Sam Allardyce was installed for. The one-off relegation scraps where all that matters is the result.
It is worth reminding onlookers that the Baggies looked relatively well-organised and attacked with great cohesion in the win over Wolves and the narrow defeat at West Ham. I think the 9/4 underestimates their chances of victory.
JONES KNOWS PREDICTS: 2-1 (8/1 with Sky Bet)
ALSO LOOK OUT FOR: West Brom to avoid defeat, Jake Livermore to be booked and West Brom to receive most cards (10/1 with Sky Bet)
