    West Brom 0-0 Norwich

    Patrick Bamford is loose with the ball at his feet and gives it away. Here's Sessegnon scampering again but there's been no sign of any real impetus from either side. 

    Norwich, without a win in their last six away games, match West Brom's mood with a drifting long ball that eases behind for a goal kick.

    West Brom 0-0 Norwich

    Craig Gardner's driven shot box bobbling wide and Saido Berahino's rushed effort on his left foot from outside the box pretty much sum up the quality on show so far.

    This hasn't been a classic.

    Phew! Sigh of relief from John Ruddy here, he is a very lucky boy indeed. After giving the ball straight to Salomon Rondon under pretty much no pressure Norwich get away with one. Rondon had to stretch to collect Ruddy's misdirected ball and the away side rush back to clear.

    Down the other end Norwich move it quickly and they do get a corner, which is just about cleared after a little bit of panic stations in the Baggies defence. Jonas Olsson with the stretching lunge to boom clear ahead of Russell Martin. He's dangerous in the box that lad.

    West Brom 0-0 Norwich

    Watching Stephane Sessegnon over the last few years at times he looks like he's drifted off. Certainly not today though, darting about in the middle. 

    Salomon Rondon has his first sight on goal but he's snatched at it. Although West Brom should have had a corner off the deflection.

    Now the home side have a set piece. Whipped into the box by Craig Gardner but Patrick Bamford blocks in a one-man wall. Normally Gardner's ordinarily got an excellent ball on him, but that was poor.

    West Brom 0-0 Norwich

    Robbie Brady tripped on the edge of the area by Craig Dawson. Very dangerous position for a free-kick. Who's taking it? 

    Brady himself steps up, but there's too much on it. Dipping only at the last, by which time it was well in the stands. A decent chance wasted that.

    West Brom 0-0 Norwich

    The Baggies are straight out the traps. Flying. Saido Berahino and Stephane Sessegnon already looking nice and lively down the right wing. 

    Down the other end Gary O'Neil booms long for Dieumerci Mbokani, but Norwich are then nearly caught out of position at the back, John Ruddy clearing a through ball just ahead of Salomon Rondon.

    "Norwich's only way out of this if they start winning games, and quickly. But for me, the manager has looked seriously affected by recent poor results."

    West Brom v Norwich (15:00 GMT)

    Norwich manager Alex Neil: "We worked hard against Manchester City and we got our reward for it. There are still a lot of points to play for.

    "This is the start of a crucial run of five games where we've got to get as many points as we can and make an impact."

    West Brom head coach Tony Pulis: "We are in a good run of form and it has been pleasing. We have played really well recently but we need to keep it going.

    "Norwich are fighting for their lives so we know how tough our game is going to be."

    West Brom are officially on a bit of a run - the last time they lost in the league was on 6 February, away to Newcastle, picking up three wins and a draw since. They haven't played in the last two weeks though, not since that 1-0 home win over Manchester United. Rusty today? 

    For Norwich, the form book doesn't make such pretty reading. They haven't won since 2 January...
