Amario takes a superb touch on the right to bring the ball down before looking to get the better of Paal at full-back. He jinks to his right and thumps it, but the ball flies into the side-netting.

QPR appear to be passing it around the back really well as Albion put on the pressure, but the hosts lose it to O'Mahony and his cross into the box is cut out by Field, with Osman waiting to get on the end of it.

Samuels, Weir, O'Mahony, Moran, Cozier-Duberry and Buonanotte replace Webster, van Hecke, Minteh, Sarmiento, Welbeck and Ayari.

That's wasteful from Smyth. He wins it on the edge of the box and then has a clear sight of goal, but he smashes it over.

Triple change for Albion. Osman, Hinshelwood and Wieffer replace Baleba, Milner and Mitoma.

Sam Field is teed up inside the box, but he drags it wide from the right of the box. He should be hitting the target there.

Welbeck pauses before taking the penalty very quickly, burying it in the bottom right corner!

A good start to this half by Albion as Mitoma puts an in-swinging cross in from the left, which Minteh meets at the back post but sends into the side-netting.

Welbeck takes the kick-off and we're back underway.

The referee brings a halt to the first half.

That's a great effort from the edge of the box, which Nardi does well to steer over the crossbar. Sarmiento then gets in down the right, but is cynically brought down by Smyth. Minteh shoots from the tightest of angles from the resulting free-kick, but it's just wide of the post.

Mitoma cuts in from the right and shifts past a defender before having space to shoot, but his effort with his left foot is at a good height for Nardi to palm away.

Celar is played in on goal and he's pretty much got the whole goal to aim for, but he sends it wide of the bottom left corner. The assistant referee's flag goes up for offside. It's a very tight call.

Great opportunity for Albion as Minteh is played in by Ayari's lovely pass. The winger has time to get think about his finish and he lobs it over goalkeeper Nardi, it looks bound for the bottom right corner by Clarke-Slater slides in and clears it off the line! It looks as if Nardi got a touch on the ball which took a little bit of pace off the shot.

Welbeck lays the ball off to Minteh midway inside the QPR half, the winger takes a few touches before looking to fire in from the edge of the box, but it takes a deflection off former Albion man Steve Cook. It goes behind for a corner.

Hurzeler has gone with a back four of Veltman, van Hecke, Webster and Baleba. We've then got a centre-midfield pairing of Milner and Ayari, with Minteh, Sarmiento and Mitoma just sat behind Welbeck.

The hosts get the game started.

There's a fantastic noise coming from the away end as the teams make their way out onto the pitch. James Milner leads Albion out.
