Sports Mole previews West Bromwich Albion's upcoming home fixture with Fulham at the Hawthorns.

In recent weeks Martin Jol's Fulham have gone from a team that looked capable of qualifying for European football to one that is now nervously looking over the shoulder at the relegation zone.

The Whites have picked up just four points from a possible 18 and as a result have dropped down to 14th in the Premier League table.

On Tuesday they travel to a West Bromwich Albion side who have been impressive at the Hawthorns this season.

The Baggies have only lost twice in front of their own supporters and their goals against tally of seven is the equal best in the division.

Steve Clarke's side have a host of injury concerns heading into the encounter, with Jonas Olsson, Youssouf Mulumbu, Claudio Yacob, Goran Popov and Steven Reid all struggling with knocks.

Meanwhile, visiting Fulham may be able to call upon veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, who has had a spell on the sidelines with a muscular problem.

Recent form

West Brom: LLDWWL

Fulham: LWLLDL

Possible starting lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Morrison, Brunt; Dorrans, Odemwingie, Long; Lukaku

Fulham: Schwarzer; Riether, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Dejagah, Karagounis, Sidwell, Frei; Ruiz; Berbatov

Sports Mole says: 2-0
