Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of West Bromwich Albion versus Crystal Palace at the Hawthorns. We'll bring you team news and build-up over the next hour, followed by full text commentary.

Tony Pulis is rarely better than when he feels he has something to prove, and after the Baggies were knocked out of the FA Cup last week he is under big pressure to produce a morale-boosting win. Not only that, but Palace are his former club – and Pulis loves sticking it to his old bosses.

The perception is that these two clubs have had very different seasons. But glance at the table and you’ll see that they are level on points with just three strikes separating their goal difference. Alan Pardew might not like you to know it, but Palace are a lower mid-table club at best right now.
