Hello and welcome to our LIVE text coverage of this afternoon's Premier League match between West Bromwich Albion and Norwich from The Hawthorns.

WBA have nine men back and that proves enough to clear their lines.

Norwich come forward again and now they have their first corner.

That one actually spun off the top off the bar! Meanwhile Andrew Surman looks for Simeon Jackson but Ben Foster races out to claim.

Norwich give it away. ODEMWINGIE!! Great strike and Ruddy dives low and somehow pushes it over the bar!! So close!!

Hits the top of the wall, comfortable for Ruddy as Simon Cox goes to ground.

Good play by Peter Odemwingie, drags the ball back for Jerome Thomas and that's a free-kick against Daniel Ayala.

Long throw by Kyle Naughton, foul against Steve Morison. Free-kick to WBA.

Wes Hoolahan does well down the WBA left, well marshalled by McAuley and that's a throw for the Canaries, deep in Baggies territory.

Gareth McAuley with a mis-controlled ball as it comes down in the Midlands sun, hooks it away at the second attempt.

There's a quick huddle and Norwich get us underway!

WBA are in their traditional blue and white and Norwich in their usual yellow top, green shorts. Both lining up as 4-4-2.

And here come the teams!

Meanwhile, Norwich manager Paul Lambert makes five changes to the team who beat the Clarets, including bringing back influential keeper, John Ruddy, who missed the match following the birth of his daughter.

So the Baggies are able to name Youssouf Mulumbu, Jerome Thomas and Paul Scharner in the starting XI while Shane Long is on the bench.

Our ref today is Mike Dean.

NORWICH: Ruddy, Martin, Whitbread, Ayala, Naughton, Johnson, Pilkington, Surman, Hoolahan, Morison, Jackson. Subs: Subs: Steer, Drury, Crofts, Holt, Fox, Bennett, Wilbraham.

And the teams are in! WBA: Foster, Jara, McAuley, Dawson, Shorey, Morrison, Mulumbu, Scharner, Thomas, Cox, Odemwingie. Subs: Fulop, Dorrans, Thorne, Mattock, Long, Fortune, Tamas.

Despite an impressive first half of the season, City boss Paul Lambert is frustrated by his inability to attract new blood to the club saying: "We're not making inroads. It's frustrating. We can't do the wages, that is a problem. The lads need a hand but you have to bring them (reinforcements) in to play."

The two sides have met three times in the Premier League, both winning one with one draw. But Albion have a clear edge in recent meetings, winning the last four, including this season's clash at Carrow Road in September. Peter Odemwingie's third minute goal proved enough to separate the sides.

However, a win for Roy Hodgson's win will see them go level on points with the Canaries in a tight mid-table.

But the visitors hit four of their own in cruising past Burnley 4-1 in the same competition and sit six places above the Midlanders after losing just one of their last six league matches - a 2-0 defeat against Spurs.
