West Brom v QPR
West Brom striker Kevin Phillips is back in training after a calf injury and could feature against QPR. John Hartson (wrist) could play some part but Paul Robinson is absent after he was sent off against Birmingham. QPR could hand a first start to on-loan Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne if Pat Kanyuka does not recover from the knock he sustained at the weekend. Marc Bircham (hamstring) may be missing while Simon Royce is expected to be preferred to Paul Jones in goal again.

West Brom 3-3 QPR
Marc Nygaard grabbed a late goal as QPR twice came from behind to earn a point in a thriller at the Hawthorns. West Brom led when Nathan Ellington scored from an acute angle after Jason Koumas' shot was saved and Diomansy Kamara made it 2-0 with a drilled shot. Damion Stewart's far-post finish gave QPR hope on the stroke of half-time and Kevin Gallen turned in Dexter Blackstock's cross to level matters. Kamara slid West Brom ahead before Nygaard netted from close-range. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- West Brom manager Tony Mowbray: \"We dominated from start to finish and threw away two points. It was poor defending - you can't get away from it. If you score three at home you expect to win. \"We created plenty of chances which was pleasing but it's probably the first time I can say since I've come that we weren't solid at the back. \"I have felt very safe at the back over the last three or four weeks but I couldn't say that on this occasion.\" QPR boss John Gregory: \"West Brom are the best side by a long, long way that I have seen in this division. \"You are almost looking at a Premiership side and quite frankly they should get automatic promotion with the team they have got. If they don't then they are selling everyone short. They were tremendous for the first 20-25 minutes. \"I feared the worst. I thought they should have killed us off but they didn't and to be fair that's a testament to the group of lads I've got. We are better than we played tonight, we gave away silly possession and gave away poor goals.\" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- West Brom: Zuberbuhler, Watson, Perry, Curtis Davies, Albrechtsen, Gera, Greening, Wallwork (Hartson 86), Koumas, Ellington (Phillips 73), Kamara.
