Carrow Road (Saturday, 3pm)

Norwich team news:

Norwich defender Joseph Yobo (calf) will be assessed ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash against West Brom at Carrow Road.

Centre-half Michael Turner is back in contention for a first appearance since New Year's Day following recovery from a hamstring injury.

Winger Elliott Bennett continues his rehabilitation from a long-term knee injury as he played for the Under-21s on Thursday, while midfielder Leroy Fer (hamstring) is also still not match fit.

Provisional squad: Ruddy, Martin, Bassong, Turner, Olsson, Tettey, Howson, Snodgrass, Redmond, Elmander, van Wolfswinkel, Bunn, R Bennett, Pilkington, Hooper, Gutierrez, Johnson, Hoolahan, Becchio, Whittaker, Yobo.

West Brom team news:

West Brom boss Pepe Mel is set to name forward Saido Berahino in his squad for Saturday's trip to Norwich despite the dressing-room fracas that marred last weekend's draw with Cardiff.

Defender Jonas Olsson returns after a two-match ban while striker Victor Anichebe, midfielder Claudio Yacob and full-back Billy Jones are all in contention after recovering from hamstring injuries.

That leaves captain Chris Brunt as the only absentee, and the midfielder could return ahead of schedule from a knee problem against Tottenham next week.

Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Reid, Ridgewell, McAuley, Dawson, Olsson, Morrison, Sinclair, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Gera, Sessegnon, Anichebe, Vydra, Berahino, Bifouma, O'Neil, D Daniels, Amalfitano, Lugano, Jones, Yacob.

Staying put: Saido Berahino should keep his place in the West Brom squad despite his bust-up with James Morrison last week
