    30'
    Long does well to squeeze between two Fulham players and find Morrison but Ridgewell takes his eye off the ball as he visitors looks to switch the play.
    28'
    Lots of good build-up play from both sides but the final ball has been lacking thus far.
    27'
    West Brom move forward with Mulumbu and he slips a ball in behind the Fulham back four to Jones, whose cross is dangerous but just behind Long. Hangeland makes a hash of the clearance though, scuffing it into Long before regaining his composure and clearing his lines.
    25'
    Whenever Fulham pick the pace up they threaten. They are making great progress down the wings. Riether is again into the penalty box but his delivery lets him down and Olsson stabs his rather scuffed cross away for a throw.

    Penalty? Kacaniklic feeds Rodallega on the penalty spot and the Colombian lets the ball run across his body as Olsson slides in recklessly. He is lucky to not give away a penalty – he looks to have won the ball with his chest.

    Riether once again makes a great overlap and bends a ball across the six-yard box but a West Brom foot just manages to get there before Rodallega, who was prowling.
    19'
    Berbatov exchanges with Kacaniklic inside the box but the youngster is ushered off the ball. Goal-kick.
    18'
    Ridgewell wins a good header from a Foster hoick up field but Long is a little too hasty in his efforts to challenge Baird and gives away a free-kick.
    17'
    It is a real waste as it is far too high and goes out on the full.
    16'
    Ridgewell gives away his third foul against Duff thus far. Duff to deliver.
    15'
    As far as I can tell, Long has yet to touch the ball.
    14'
    The Baggies work the ball well down the right and Jones fires a ball across the six-yard box. West Brom’s best move thus far.
    12'
    Wrst Brom are extremely deep, which, defensively, in itself isn’t a huge issue. However, for about the third time already they struggle to clear their lines and offer Fulham secondary opportunities and Clarke looks furious.

    But, credit to the visitors, they remain patient until Morrison works some space and stings the palms of Schwarzer from twenty-five yards out. The resulting corner is poor and Fulham move forward again.
    8'
    West Brom now have a small spell of possession but with so much distance between Long, up top on his own, and the rest of the team, they struggle to offer any real sort of threat to the home goal.
    7'
    Long is running the channels well but he is cutting an isolated figure up top.

    Odemwingie twists this way and that to open up some space for a shot. He finally works a yard and draws a smart stop from Schwarzer from about twenty yards out.
    4'
    West Brom have dropped ten yards now and allow the hosts to knock the ball around in front of them. Both full-backs are utilising long switches to open up space.

    Fulham have started brightly and Berbatov gets across his man to flick a ball goalwards. Great over lap from Riether to set it up but there's not enough power on the effort.
    2'
    Fulham have only lost once here this calendar year, so the visitors, who can go top with a win, face a tougher task than it may appear.

    The home crowd make a tremendous racket as the hosts get us underway.
