Last week saw a young Trotters side defeated 3-2 by Albion's arch rivals Wolves and Neil McDonald's players will know that they are in for a stern test against the Baggies who have named an experienced squad for the contest.
McDonald will have the advantage of being able to call upon some more senior players, something which he didn't have last week due to the first team squad being over in Spain. Florent Laville will once again get a run out having played for the first time in the friendly defeat to Sevilla whilst new boys Andy Oakes and Blessing Kaku also get run outs.
Albion reserve boss Gary Shelton names the ex-Preston North End captain Sean Gregan in the team despite constant speculation linking the player with a move to Cardiff City.
Former Manchester United trainee Ronnie Wallwork is also named in the squad as are twins Adam and James Chambers. One time Bradford City and Torquay United defender Darren Moore will be hoping to build up his fitness in this game.
