Fox, Hughes SEASON SO FAR: Albion are a side transformed from the team which narrowly escaped relegation last season. Tthe play-offs rather than automatic promotion is starting to look like a more realistic goal MANAGER: Gary Megson: Former Stockport boss Gary Megson has breathed new life into the Hawthorns since he took over in March. He saved Albion from the drop on the last day of the season thanks to a 2-0 win over Charlton.

And this term he's transformed the club into a top six outfit after pairing together dynamic duo Jason Roberts and Lee Hughes in attackTOP SCORER: Lee Hughes: Curry loving goal-ace Lee Hughes has been in red-hot form again this season, with 18 goals to his name so far. But the Balti-boy -- who was plucked out of the Nationwide Conference -- is absent tomorrow as he serves the second game of a two-match ban PREDICTED LINE-UP: Veteran striker Bob Taylor looks set to fill the boots of Lee Hughes at Ewood tomorrow.

The former Bolton striker is still going strong at the age of 34 and looks set to partner Roberts in attack as part of a 3-5-2 formation ONE TO WATCH: Ruel Fox: Former Tottenham wide-boy Ruel Fox is enjoying something of a renaissance in the Midlands. Signed in August, the speedy winger's been Albion's major creative force and his influence on the team has resulted in him being made captain DID YOU KNOW? West Broich Albion used to be known as West Brom Strollers until they switched to their current name at the end of the 19th century
