Darren Moore is likely to make two changes to his starting line-up for West Brom’s clash against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Kyle Bartley is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season in the 1-1 draw with Blackburn last week so Ahmed Hegazi is expected to return from injury and start in the back-three.

Gareth Barry could be fit after a recent injury lay-off and senior player James Morrison could be axed for the returning former Everton man.

Sam Johnstone is expected to start in goals behind a back-three of Tosin Adarabioyo, Craig Dawson and Hegazi, who has missed the last two games with an injury but could make his return this weekend.

Matt Phillips is likely to start as the right-sided wing-back with Conor Townsend lining up on the opposite flank once again with Kieran Gibbs expected to miss out due to injury.

Jake Livermore could partner Barry in the centre of the midfield with Harvey Barnes ahead of them in the free-role behind the two strikers.

Dwight Gayle remains an injury doubt after being forced off against Derby last month so Bakary Sako could earn his second Albion appearance alongside Jay Rodriguez up front.
