However, Dwight Gayle and Gareth Barry will face late tests to prove their fitness ahead of Albion's trip to the KC Stadium.

A win for the Baggies against Nigel Adkins' struggling side could see them climb back into the automatic promotion places.

But, disappointing results against Derby County and Wigan Athletic have shown signs of the goals starting to dry up at the Hawthorns, leaving fans eager to see a Gayle return.

"We’ve had some good news on Kieran Gibbs and Ahmed [Hegazi]," said Moore.

"Dwight [Gayle] we will see, he’s 50/50, and Gareth Barry we will see.

"We’ve got a training session today. We’ll put both players in there and see how they get on.

"We’ll give them every opportunity to make the game because they’re both eager to play.

"You have to let common sense prevail. As much as you’re tempted, if it is at a risk then I won't take that risk.

"But Gibbs is looking good and Ahmed is looking good,"

With 33 goals already, Darren Moore's side are the divisions highest scorers with eight of those coming from Gayle himself.

"We will look at Dwight today," he said.

"We still have a session to go and then we will make a last minute decision. We’ll see where it takes us."
