Sports Mole previews Saturday's Premier League encounter between West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City at The Hawthorns.

West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke will be sweating on the fitness of Romelu Lukaku ahead of Manchester City's visit to The Hawthorns on Saturday.

The Belgian striker has been struggling with an ankle injury or a couple of weeks, but looks likely to feature against the Premier League champions.

Also back in contention for the Baggies are Chris Brunt (hamstring) and Liam Ridgewell (calf).

David Silva remains Roberto Mancini's main concern ahead of the trip to the Midlands, as he is suffering from a muscular problem.

Jack Rodwell, Javi Garcia and Maicon are also in the Citizens' treatment table.

Recent form:

West Brom: WLWDW
Man City: WDDWW

Possible lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Tamas, McAuley, Olsson, Popov; Yacob, Mulumbu; Gera, Morrison; Lukaku, Long

Man City: Hart; Zabaleta, Richards, Lescott, Clichy; Milner, Barry, Y. Toure, Tevez; Aguero, Tevez

Sports Mole says: 1-1
