Premier League team news: Sunderland v West Brom

Sunderland boss David Moyes will be without three key midfielders for Saturday's Premier League clash with West Brom.

Having already seen Adnan Januzaj ruled out for a minimum of six weeks with ankle ligament damage, Moyes has now lost Steven Pienaar to a hamstring strain, while Lee Cattermole is to have an epidural in a bid to cure neuro-pain in his legs which medics believe stems from his back.

In addition, striker Victor Anichebe, who made his debut as a substitute in last weekend's 3-2 home defeat by Crystal Palace, is out with a groin problem and joins goalkeeper Vito Mannone (elbow), midfielder Sebastian Larsson (knee) and striker Fabio Borini (groin) on the sidelines.

Saido Berahino is expected to return to West Brom's squad for their trip to Sunderland.

The striker missed last week's 1-1 draw at Stoke with a stomach bug but has trained this week and is fit for the Baggies' game at the Stadium of Light.

Boss Tony Pulis has no fresh injury concerns with James Morrison fit after a long-term hamstring issue and, while Chris Brunt has returned to training after six months out with a knee injury, he will not be included in the first-team squad until after the international break.

Sunderland: Pickford, Mika, Love, Manquillo, Djilobodji, O'Shea, Kone, Denayer, McNair, Van Aanholt, J. Robson, T. Robson, Kirchhoff, Rodwell, Gooch, Khazri, E. Robson, Defoe, Asoro, Watmore, Maja.

West Brom squad: Foster, Myhill, Dawson, Evans, Olsson, McAuley, Wilson, Galloway, Yacob, Gardner, Fletcher, Field, McManaman, McClean, Morrison, Phillips, Chadli, Rondon, Lambert, Berahino, Leko, Robson-Kanu.
