West Brom welcome Manchester City to the Hawthorns on Saturday, currently enjoying their best ever start to a league season.
Roberto Mancini’s men have yet to hit their best form, but currently sit third in the table, four points behind early pace setters Chelsea. They managed their first clean sheet of the season last time out, following their 3-0 home victory over Sunderland.
Steve Clarke will be sweating on the fitness of on-loan-striker Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker has been struggling with an ankle injury for a couple of weeks, but still looks likely to feature against the champions.
Also back in contention for the Baggies are Chris Brunt (hamstring) and Liam Ridgewell (calf).
Roberto Mancini has no new injury concerns, other than David Silva who is doubtful with a muscular injury. Jack Rodwell, Javi Garcia and Maicon all remain sidelined for the champions.
Prediction: West Brom 2-3 Manchester City
