Paul Ince has named his first side of 2023 and he has made three changes to the starting eleven that impressed at Carrow Road on Friday night.
Scott Dann starts at The Hawthorns, his first time in the eleven since a visit to Nottingham Forest back in mid-March. And he is partnered by Tom McIntyre in central defence as Nesta Guinness-Walker is given a start on the left side of the back line.
Naby Sarr is named as a substitute while Tom Holmes is not included in the matchday squad, but Femi Azeez returns to the 18 to take a place on the bench.
The other change sees Lucas Joao return to the substitutes bench as Yakou Meite is preferred in an attacking role this afternoon. Former Royal John Swift starts for our hosts.
