Defenders Bruno, Dan Burn, Leon Balogun and Gaetan Bong will be among those hoping to come into the side, while winger Jose Izquierdo could start for the first time since early December.
Albion will be without Yves Bissouma who is suspended after picking up two bookings in the FA Cup this season. With Pascal Gross ruled out, Albion's three-man midfield is likely to be Dale Stephens, Beram Kayal and Davy Propper.
Florin Andone will miss the game, so either Glenn Murray or Jurgen Locadia will lead the line.
