Squad sheets: West Bromwich Albion v Sunderland

Albion may be eight points clear of the relegation zone but their wretched home record (only two wins at The Hawthorns all season) means they cannot afford to feel too comfortable. A visit from a Sunderland side that has been completely rejuvenated since the arrival of Martin O'Neill as manager in December is probably the last thing that the hosts need. There is some good news for Roy Hodgson's side, though: captain Chris Brunt is back in training after an ankle injury and should return within the next couple of weeks.
