14.24: Four changes for the Baggies, two at the back, one in midfield and one upfront. Robinson, Cesar, Morrison and Beattie all feature.

The Baggies have £5.5m of talent on the bench, just shows their strength these days.

Albion: Kiely, Hoefkens, Cesar, Robinson, Albrechtsen, Teixeira, Greening, Koren, Morrison, Bednar, Beattie.

Subs: Barnett, MacDonald, Brunt, Steele, Phillips.

14.09: The Baggies could be coming face to face with former Walsall captain Dean Keates today.

14.00: Albion fans are sniffing a good cup run but today is a potential banana skin.

Posh are a big spending lower league outfit and will fancy their chances in this one. Much depends on the strength of Albion's team - we will bring you the line-ups as soon as we get them.
