TEAM
NEWS
Albion
Tony Pulis will without James
Morrison, who faces up to eight weeks out with a hamstring injury. Albion
captain Darren Fletcher is also likely to miss out due to the knee injury
sustained in last Saturday's defeat at Southampton.
Pulis may call upon a number of fringe players with
the Baggies' boss having one eye on Saturday's crunch clash with Villa.
Bristol City
City goalkeeper Frank Fielding
has not recovered from his rib injury so Max O'Leary looks set to make his full
debut.
Derrick Williams (cramp) and
fellow defender Nathan Baker (black eye) are both expected to feature.

FIXTURE HISTORY
 The
first ever meeting between the two sides came back in April 1898 - a friendly
match played in Bristol that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Albion and City met for the first time in competitive action
during the 1901/02 season. The first game between the sides at The Hawthorns in
October, ended in a 2-2 draw with Billy Lee and Jimmy McLean the hosts'
goalscorers. The return game at Ashton Gate the following February saw Albion
run out 2-1 victors with Tommy Worton and Chippy Simmons on the scoresheet.
The Baggies' biggest win over City is 4-1 - a scoreline
achieved three times - January 1926 in a FA Cup 3rd round tie, December
2007 in a League Championship clash and November 2009, again in the League
Championship. All the wins came at The Hawthorns.
City's biggest win over Albion came in a Wartime League Cup game in March
1945 - the Robins running out 5-2 winners at Ashton Gate, Don Clark
scoring a hat-trick for the hosts.
Prior to this season the clubs had met three times previously in FA Cup action - the first two
meetings taking place in the second round of the 1909/10 competition. In
the initial game at Ashton Gate, the teams played out a 1-1 draw, Bob Pailor hitting Albion's goal. The replay four days later saw the Baggies
run out 4-2 winners, Charlie Hewitt 2, Pailor and George Simpson with the
Albion goals.
The third meeting in FA Cup competition came during the
1925/26 season, this time the Baggies running out convincing 4-1 winners
with Tommy Glidden leading the scoring with two goals.
The last competitive meeting of
the clubs at Ashton Gate came during Albion's 2009/10 promotion winning campaign, Roberto Di Matteo's men losing 2-1
in a game remembered by many for
the torrid time City winger Danny Haynes gave Albion full-back Joe Mattock
during the match.

Two goals in four minutes gave
Bristol City a welcome and surprise win over promotion-chasing
West Brom. Graham Dorrans put the visitors in front when he found space in the box
to fire low past Dean Gerken. But City levelled when Lee Johnson's corner was
helped on by Louis Carey and Chris Iwelumo stabbed home. The home side went in
front when the lively Danny Haynes ran at
West Brom's defence and crossed
for Johnson to finish from close range. Johnson has only just returned from a
loan spell at Derby and provided a telling contribution to help ease the
pressure on his father and manager Gary. It was only their second win in 12
games and could prove a crucial one - helping them move eight points clear of
the drop zone and just seven behind Leicester, who currently lie sixth in the
final play-off spot. The defeat for
West Brom could prove equally important on a weekend when they
slipped out of the automatic promotion places.
They had looked well on course for a ninth away win of
the season at half-time, with Dorrans capitalising on some sloppy play at the
back to fire the Baggies into the lead with his 13th goal of the season.
But struggling City showed
plenty of fight and a no shortage of quality to turn the game on its head early
in the second half. The equaliser was a scrappy one, with Johnson's corner
hitting Carey and falling kindly for the unmarked Iwelumo in front of goal and
he scored his first since arriving on loan from Wolves. But the winning goal
was finely crafted by Haynes, whose pace and willingness to run at defenders
made it a tough afternoon for Baggies full-back Joe Mattock. The winger drove
into the box and picked out Johnson at the back post to apply the finishing
touch. Substitute Andwele Slory wasted a great chance to level when he miscued a
chance in front of goal. But although
West Brom threw men forward in the latter stages, with Roman Bednar
having a couple of late half-chances to salvage a point and extend their
unbeaten run to 11 games, the hosts held on for a deserved win.
