Baggies boosted by Fortune return

West Brom striker Marc-Antoine Fortune is available for the visit of Aston Villa after missing the 1-0 win over Liverpool.

A hamstring problem prevented Fortune from featuring in the historic win at Anfield, but the forward has now recovered and is available to face relegation-threatened Villa. Utility man Paul Scharner cracked a bone in his wrist at Liverpool, but the Austrian is expected to be available for the remainder of the season regardless. The Baggies will be without Zoltan Gera and James Morrison (both knee) and Steven Reid (foot), who remain on the sidelines.
