Sunderland will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Sunderland will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the league on Saturday when they travel to the Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion.

A late Thierry Henry goal put an end to a run of three consecutive wins two weeks ago when the Black Cats lost 2-1 to Arsenal.

At the other end of the table, the Baggies will be buoyed by their 5-1 thrashing of local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out.

Paul Scharner is a major doubt for the home side with a chest injury, with Keith Andrews most likely to step into the midfield.

Peter Odemwingie, whose hat-trick earned the Baggies the three points against Wolves, should partner Marc-Antoine Fortune in attack.

Wes Brown is still missing for Sunderland, while manager Martin O'Neill could hand a start to Fraizer Campbell, who received his first senior England call-up on Thursday.

Current form:

West Brom: LLWDLW
Sunderland: WLWWWL

Possible lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Olsson, Ridgewell, McAuley, Reid; Morrison, Andrews, Mulumbu, Thomas; Odemwingie, Fortune

Sunderland: Mignolet; Bardsley, O'Shea, Turner, Richardson; Cattermole, Larsson, Gardner, Colback; Campbell, Sessegnon

Sports Mole says: 1-2
