ENCISO MAKES IT 3-0!

Albion stretch their lead. Long is in no man's land when Brad Hills undercooks his back pass in the right-back area. Enciso is onto it and curls a lovely low finish from an acute angle in off the far post. That should be that.
55'

MINTEH DENIED AGAIN

Lovely pass by Ayari and Minteh is away down the left and into the box but his touch is too heavy and Long races out to smother at his feet. Minteh needs treatment but is back on the pitch.

MINTEH DENIED

Nearly a third for Albion but Long keeps out Minteh's shot. At the other end Jack Stacey comes up from left back for Norwich and fires a long-range shot across goal and wide. Steele not going to be troubled by that effort.

RUTTER AGAIN! 2-0 AT HALF-TIME

45+1: Georgie has his second. Minteh runs at the Norwich defence, passes into Rutter's path and his shot takes a deflection off Callum Doyle and over Long.

SUPER HEADER BY GEORGIE

37: That's a lovely goal by Albion. They have pinned Norwich back for the last few minutes and when Joel Veltman lifts in the cross from the right Rutter rises on the edge of the six yard box and directs his header back across Long and into the far corner. The knee slide cele in front of the Albion fans wasn't bad either!

ALBION GETTING ON TOP

36: We're dominating now and have just gone close again. Minteh was the provider after another surge down the right. His pass was hit first time by Enciso with the outside of his left foot but too close to Long, who made the save.

RUTTER FRUSTRATED AGAIN!

24: More great wing play, this time down the left by Mitoma. He plays it back to Rutter ten yards out and once again his on-target shot is blocked, this time by Oscar Schwartau.

RUTTER DENIED!

20: Great work by Minteh down the left who scorches past his marker, gets to the line and pulls it back for Rutter to hit side-footed. It's on target but Jose Cordoba produces a fine block.

CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS

The home side forced two corners in quick succession which Albion eventually clear. Moments later Mitoma plays in Ayari inside the box but George Long is out quickly to block his angled effort. At the other end Jason Steele is beaten by Amankwah Forson's left-foot curler from the edge of the box but it come back off the post. A let-off for Albion!

Norwich ring the changes

Only Ben Chrisene, Callum Doyle, Kenny McLean, Marcelino Nunez and Ante Crnac are the five Norwich players who started last week's 2-1 win over Coventry City when the Canaries scored two stoppage-time goals as the sky fell in on the Sky Blues.

Six changes for Albion

Fabian Hurzeler makes six changes to the team which started last Saturday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal. In come Jason Steele, who is captain, Adam Webster, Julio Enciso, Georginio Rutter, Yankuba Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma. Danny Welbeck returns after injury on the bench. No Shane Duffy in Norwich's team because of injury.
