Team News: West Bromwich Albion name three-man attack

West Bromwich Albion name a three-man attack as they face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

West Bromwich Albion have decided to play with three strikers as they take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup this afternoon, with Irishman Shane Long accompanied by Matej Vydra and Saido Berahino.

The Baggies feature a three-man midfield made up of Zoltan Gera, Claudio Yacob and James Morrison, with Craig Dawson and Gareth McAuley shoring up West Brom's defensive line.

Visitors Palace have fielded a surprisingly strong side given their struggles in the Premier League, with the in-form Dwight Gayle starting up front for the London club.

Manager Tony Pulis has opted for a five-man midfield, with Hiram Boateng and Kagisho Dikgacoi taking the reins in the centre of the pitch.

West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Lugano, McAuley, Dawson, Popov, Morrison, Yacob, Gera, Berahino, Vydra, Long

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Parr, Delaney, Gabbidon, Mariappa, Dikgacoi, Boateng, Jonny Williams, Bolasie, Bannan, Gayle
