Squad sheets: West Bromwich Albion v Blackpool

West Bromwich beat Blackpool twice in last season's Championship but are now facing the wrong end of a double, having lost at Bloomfield Road in November after getting two red cards. While Ian Holloway's side are cockahoop, having defeated Liverpool a second time, Albion will be desperate to halt a slide which has seen them lose five league games in a row followed by an FA Cup defeat at Reading. So desperate, in fact, that Roberto Di Matteo has dropped Scott Carson, his goalkeeper and captain. Elliot Grandin, nursing a strained hamstring, is Blackpool's only doubt.
