Midfielder Andrew Surman (knee) and forward Grant Holt (hamstring) are other injury doubts.
Match Preview
Both West Brom and Norwich have been surprise packages this season. The Baggies went on a scintillating run throughout November, with victories against Southampton, Wigan, Chelsea, Sunderland and Swansea. They have come unstuck this month however, and have yet to register a win for December. Defeats to Stoke and Arsenal, followed up by a draw to West Ham last week, have put the brakes on their impressive surge up the table. As for Norwich, they can overhaul their opponents this Saturday and leapfrog them into 7th with a win. Despite getting battered of Aston Villa a couple of weeks ago, Paul Lambert's side look set to complete an impressive first half to the season following their recent return to the Premier League after an absence of 6 years.
