West Brom hope to have Matt Phillips available for the game as he recovers from an ankle injury. The winger was left out of the squad's warm-weather training trip to Dubai this week to continue his rehabilitation.
James Morrison (ankle) and Boaz Myhill (sickness) could be available for boss Darren Moore. Jake Livermore continues to sit out for the Baggies as he serves the third game of a four-match ban.

Prutton's prediction
It was probably one of the most remarkable results of the season on the opening day when Bolton went to The Hawthorns and claimed all three points.
A lot has gone wrong for the Trotters since then, though, and a lot has gone well for West Brom. These are the kinds of games they need to be winning if they have hopes of finishing in the top two and this should be a comfortable enough win for them.
David Prutton predicts: 0-2
