The Fitness Test
Brad Potts missed the victory over Sheffield Wednesday with a knee injury which is likely to keep him out for this match as well.
Robbie Brady is also expected to be unavailable again after recently suffering two cracked ribs.
There are no other injuries for Paul Heckingbottom to worry about.
The Baggies
West Brom are in something of an in-between period right now following the recent departure of Carlos Corberán, who has taken over La Liga side Valencia.
In the absence of a permanent boss, Chris Brunt, Damia Abella and Boaz Myhill have overseen their last two matches – a defeat to Derby County and a draw away to Sheffield United.
The Baggies currently sit right on the brink of the Play-Offs and whoever takes charge at The Hawthorns will be hopeful of being able to break into that top six come May.
The Officials
Referee: Bobby Madley
Assistant Referees: Blake Antrobus and Johnathon Bickerdike
Fourth Official: Sam Allison
Bobby Madley will take charge of his fourth PNE match of the season on Wednesday.
One of the three he’s already refereed was the incredible 17-16 penalty shootout victory over Fulham in round three of the Carabao Cup.
In total during the 2024/25 season, Madley has shown 58 yellow cards and one red in the 16 matches he’s refereed.
MACS VIEW
Can we bag the Baggies? Tough ask even in their state of flux at the moment, well and truly hammered on our last couple of visits here. Hopefully better prepared timorrow than in recent games, be happy with a point
Highest ground in England, weather will be crap, will our new striker be involved?

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
