LUKE Moore is recalled to the starting XI as Roberto Di Matteo makes three changes - one enforced.
Abdoulaye Meite and Simon Cox also come in for the FA Cup fifth-round replay.
The men to make way are the cup-tied Frank Nouble, plus Jonas Olsson and Chris Brunt, who drop to the bench.
Albion are buoyed by the return among the substitutes of James Morrison, from a ten-month heel injury lay-off, and Marek Cech, who has been sidelined for three weeks with a hamstring problem.
New loan signing Ben Watson is also cup-tied while Jerome Thomas serves the final game of his five-match ban.
Brian McDermott makes three changes to the Royals side, with Zurab Khizanishvili, Brynjar Gunnarsson and Jem Karacan making way for Jay Tabb, skipper Ivar Ingimarrson and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
