Depleted Albion are set to face a Watford side boosted by the return of three key players.
Troy Deeney, Ikechi Anya and Almen Abdi are all expected to make comebacks from injury for the seventh-placed Hornets at The Amex on Monday evening.
Striker Deeney and Scottish international winger Anya missed last Saturday’s 3-2 home defeat by Derby County with calf problems.
Midfielder Abdi has not featured for Gianfranco Zola’s side since August 31 because of a foot injury.
All three started Watford’s 3-1 win in the corresponding fixture last season, when Deeney struck first. He was also on target in Watford’s 2-2 draw at The Amex two seasons ago.
Albion loan transfer target Dexter Blackstock completed a three-month move to Leeds yesterday. The Nottingham Forest striker’s loan is due to end on January 25, when the Yorkshiremen play Albion at The Amex.
