Welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's live text coverage of Fulham v West Bromwich Albion from Craven Cottage!

So, Mark Schwarzer's absence at the Asian Cup means that David Stockdale makes his first appearance since August in the Fulham goal, while Diomansy Kamara replaces Andrew Johnson in the only other change from the Fulham side that lost 1-0 at Tottenham on New Year's Day.

West Brom team: Carson, Hurst, Zuiverloon, Jara, Cech, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Brunt, Morrison, Thomas, Odemwingie. Substitutes: Myhill, Tchoyi, Miller, Shorey, Meite, Fortune, Cox.

Fulham team: Stockdale, Pantsil, Hangeland, Hughes, Baird, Davies, Murphy, Etuhu, Duff, Dempsey, Kamara. Substitutes: Etheridge, Salcido, Gera, Riise, Eddie Johnson, Greening, Halliche.

Today's man in the middle is Martin Atkinson.

Fulham have not won any of their last five league matches at Craven Cottage, and anything other than a win today would equal their worst home run in the Premier League. The Baggies made a superb start to the season, but since then, despite playing some attractive football, have lost eight of their last 11 matches.

Neither of these sides have been picking up points as of late, and both are desperate to pick up three points that would ease their relegation fears. Fulham currently lie 18th, with 19 points from 20 games, while West Brom are 14th, with 22 points from 20 games.
