West Brom are set to be without key striker Victor Anichebe for the trip to West Ham tomorrow with the front man struggling with a groin injury.

Georgios Samaras was left out of the squad for the 2-0 defeat at Stok but is available after being allowed home for personal reasons.

Former Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis told ClaretandHugh he would be in the Upton Park stands before taking over saying: “The lawyers and Albion are finalising all the details and I am told all will be well.”
