Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League game between West Brom and Southampton at The Hawthorns.

The big question is who is going to get the goals for the Baggies in the absence of Romelu Lukaku, who returned to Chelsea after his loan spell where he bagged 17 goals last season

Last season, the Baggies finished in eighth position while the Saints ended in 14th place.

On the head to head, the Baggies have 22 wins and the Saints 24 wins with 22 draws.

The Saints will be looking to avoid a repeat of the last meeting with the Baggies when they were thumped 3-0 in April.

But Albion boss Steve Clarke is without Zoltan Gera and George Thorne who both have knee injuries.

Nicolas Anelka makes his Albion debut, the Frenchman's sixth Premier League club.

Saints start with England's new goal hero Rickie Lambert while Gaston Ramirez is on the bench after a long-haul trip in midweek.
