Albion take a 3-2 lead to the Hawthorns after a double strike from Kevin Phillips and one from Diomansy Kamra helped take a slender one goal lead to the Hawthorns.

Defender Sam Sodje (foot) surprisingly returned to action against Wolverhampton at Molineux and is likely to feature at the Hawthorns on Wednesday night.

Wolves Team News:

Wolverhampton had originally took a 2-1 lead at one point with Jody Craddock cancelling out Phillips opener and Seyi Olofinjana put the home side ahead before Albion bounced back.

The visitors will be without keeper Matt Murray, the experienced keeper was forced out the first leg after he broke his shoulder during a training session just 24 hours before he was due to play against Albion – Wayne Hennesey will once again take his place.
