Eighth in the table. Two wins in the last three games. And a home game against a struggling Sunderland team. Life is pretty good if you are a West Brom fan right now.

Yet their winning run has presented boss Tony Pulis with problems. How does he keep his players happy when they are not in the side?

"If you try and be clever eventually it will spin round and catch you out. One day they might say 'I didn't like him but he was a straight fella'."

"I'd be kidding if I said the players we're going to bring will massively make a big difference," said Moyes.

"We probably couldn't get that level of player and probably wouldn't have the finances."
