Good Afternoon. I'm Lizzy and I'll be guiding you through this afternoon's match from the Hawthorns between manager-less West Brom and Tiger-less Hull City. You can tweet me @legsidelizzy with your comments, observations, questions (which I won't be able to answer) or to tell me I'm an idiot.

CORNER: Olsson's clearance gives Hull a corner

Lovely ball from Livermore to Elmahamady on the right wing who crosses in but straight on to the foot of a defender.

Messy so far - neither side have settled down and Hull can't get any sort of possession strung together.

Hull throw in, cleared by Olsson and then hoofed by Brunt right down the other end. It's ugly but effective

Sagbo with some showboating skill but gives straight to Sessegnon. Morrison with a wild shot over and above the goal.

CORNER: WBA corner delilvered well by Brunt but no one could jump up and attack and it's safely cleared

It's long ball central so far. Nicely worked down the left hand side by WBA and Ridgewell wins the corner

West Brom knocking it around at the back followed by another long ball into Shane Long who has no end product in this instance

Early domination by West Brom. Olsson puts it long into the box but is safely cleared.

And we're off. West Brom playing a slightly different formation under Dowling.

MATCH ODDS: WBA Evens, Draw (5/2), Hull (7/2)

Warms up are done and the players are back in the warmth of the dressing room. The officials today are Jonathan Moss asssisted by Stuart Burt and Mick McDonough. The infamous Mark Clattenburg is the fourth official

Clearly it is the off field matters that dominate the headlines for this match. With the changing name application malarkey and the surprise sacking of Steve Clarke following West Brom's 1-0 loss at Cardiff last week. West Brom are teetering on the edge of the relegation zone and will feel that this match is there for the taking given Hull's away record.

Hull have only won 1 of their last 32 Premier League away games. Which is a staggering stat.

Steve Bruce has slammed the sacking of Steve Clarke but fears that it could work against Hull

England goalkeeper Ben Foster is back in the West Brom side after an injury lay off and caretaker manager Dowling has a fully fit squad to pick from.

HULL: McGregor, Chester, Bruce, Davies, Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler, Figueroa, Sagbo, Graham. Subs: Rosenior, Koren, Fryatt, McShane, Boyd, Harper, Haye

WEST BROMWICH ALBION: Foster, Billy Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Morrison, Mulumbu, Sinclair, Sessegnon, Brunt, Long Subs: Yacob, Myhill, Lugano, Amlafitano, Vydra, Gera, Berahino
