The Barclays Premier League newcomers do battle for the first time since gaining promotion from the Championship last season.
Phil Brown's Hull have begun the campaign in excellent form and sit in third place, while the Baggies will be pleased with 10 points from their first eight fixtures
Hull City manager Phil Brown has close to a fully-fit squad available for Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to West Bromwich Albion.
Brown has named an unchanged side for three consecutive matches but with broken-leg victim Craig Fagan the only player not to have trained this week, competition for places is high.
Record signing Anthony Gardner (thigh) is back in the squad and will travel but Brown is determined not to rush him. New signing Stelios Giannakopoulos and Nick Barmby are both in full training but will be left until after a behind-closed-doors friendly on Monday.
Injuries:
West Brom will again be without central defender Abdoulaye Meite, who will miss his sixth successive match as he continues to battle against the calf strain he suffered against former club Bolton Wanderers on 30th August.
Midfielder Filipe Teixeira, who has not played since March due to a knee ligament injury, has also had to put his comeback plans on hold again.
Teixeira is still being troubled by a calf problem that he picked up in training.
Squads
West Brom: Carson, Kiely, Zuiverloon, Hoefkens, Barnett, Donk, Olsson, Robinson, Cech, Morrison, Greening, Koren, Valero, Brunt, Miller, Bednar, Moore, Slusarski, MacDonald, Pele.
Hull: Myhill, McShane, Zayatte, Turner, Dawson, Marney, Ashbee, Boateng, Hughes, Geovanni, Halmosi, Cousin, Garcia, King, Mendy, Folan, Ricketts, Gardner, Windass, Duke.Possible scoreline: (West Brom 1 Hull 2)
