The Monday evening kick-off is good news for Chris Brunt, the West Bromwich Albion captain, as it gives him more time to recover from a groin injury picked up on international duty. The Albion manager, Alan Irvine, has described Brunt and his team-mates Chris Baird and Gareth McAuley as “absolutely delighted” about their recent success with Northern Ireland and will hope that they can carry that momentum into their club form.
