ALBION host Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup Second Round at The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening (ko 8pm).
The opposition
Mansfield beat Accrington Stanley 6-1 in the first round of the competition thanks a Tyler Walker hat-trick and goals from Otis Khan, Danny Rose and CJ Hamilton.
They currently sit 13th in Sky Bet League Two after winning their first game before drawing their last four in a row.
Manager David Flitcroft, who has previously been in charge of Barnsley, Bury and Swindon Town, took over in March following the departure of former boss Steve Evans to Peterborough United.
Last time out
The most recent fixture between the teams was a Football League Division 2 clash in April 1993 when Albion recorded a 3-0 away win over the Stags.
Strikes from Taylor, Heggs and Hunt earned the Baggies, who earned promotion that year via the play-offs, an important three points.
