Tony Pulis cut his teeth as a manager at Bournemouth.  He signed Eddie Howe.  Now the Cherries boss needs to learn  valuable lessons, external  from his old mentor in how to handle a team sinking in the top flight and refloat them.

Pulis has made a career of keeping Premier League clubs up from troubled positions through sheer organisation.

I'm not saying Eddie doesn't have those qualities. He does. But this is the first time his team looks in real trouble at this level. He needs to pull defenders with fine individual spirit into a more cohesive unit.

For West Brom , centre-back Jonny Evans makes his first start in almost two months after a calf injury.

He replaces Matt Phillips - who is out with a hamstring injury - meaning Chris Brunt should push up into midfield.

West Brom: Foster, Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Nyom, Fletcher, Livermore, Chadli, Morrison, Brunt, Rondon.

Subs: Olsson, Robson-Kanu, Yacob, Myhill, McClean, Leko, Field.

Bournemouth make two changes from the defeat to Manchester City last time out as Marc Pugh and Tyrone Mings come in for Jordon Ibe and Simon Francis.

Bournemouth: Boruc, A Smith, Mings, Cook, Daniels, Arter, Surman, Pugh, Wilshere, Fraser, King.

Subs: Gosling, Afobe, Gradel, B Smith, Stanislas, Allsop, Mousset.
