Albion boss Steve Coppell is poised to stick with the team hammered at Selhurst Park last Satuday.

Goalkeeper Andy Petterson is due to take up his place on the bench after his return to the club on a one-month contract to provide cover for Michel Kuipers after Will Packham picked up an ankle ligament injury.

Graham Barrett, who was a target for Bradford before joining Albion on loan from Arsenal, partners Bobby Zamora again up front.

Paul Kitson, who has been continuing his rehabilitation from back surgery with intensive treatment at Lilleshall, remains Coppell's main injury concern as Albion's treatment room begins to clear.

Nathan Jones (knee) and Geoff Pitcher (heel) were both due to return to action in the reserves at waterlogged Bristol City and Robbie Pethick (foot) and John Piercy (ankle) are back in light training.

Gary Hart is expected to be fit despite bruising a hip in the Palace debacle.

Bradford boss Nicky Law is sweating on the fitness of defender Uhlenbeek and star striker Cadamarteri.

If they pass fitness tests, Law looks set to stick with the side that lost at Reading in midweek.

If so it will mean former Albion prospect Michael Standing will have to settle for a place on the bench.

Standing, the great nephew of Albion chairman Dick Knight, has been struggling for fitness after a groin injury which has kept him amongst the substitutes in the Bantams' last two games.

Bradford leftback Andy Myers is ruled out by a calf injury - the latest in a mounting injury list which sees nine players either injured or struggling to be fit for the Withdean encounter.

New Aussie signing Paul Reid will continue in midfield after scoring both goals on his debut for the Yorkshiremen last Saturday.

His goals clipped the high-flying Canaries' wings, but that victory was the Bantams' only win in nine.
