West Bromwich Albion start today in an incredible 6th place in the Barclays Premiership table.  They play hosts to current 12th placed Fulham, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the top flight to six games at the Hawthorns this afternoon.  Three points separate the two sides at the start of play.

Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo looks set to be without leading scorer and fans favourite Peter Odemwingie this afternoon, he is struggling to over come a knee injury and will face a late fitness test.  But in better news for the Baggies, winger Jerome Thomas has recovered from his calf problem, and is in contention for selection for todays game.

Fulham on the other hand have midfielder Danny Murphy ruled out with a groin strain, but striker Andy Johnson is available for selection for the first time since January after finally recovering from a catalogue of injuries on his shoulder, knee and hip.

West Bromwich Albion remain unbeaten at the Hawthorns this season, and come into this game on the back of last weeks 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.  Fulham are yet to win a game on the road this season, but have picked up points in all four of their away fixtures.
