Baggies 1-1 Saints - LIVE! Albion have to settle for a good point against one of promotion favourites after dominant first half

James Morrison names the side that cost Nuno Espirito Santo his West Ham job for tonight's test against Southampton at The Hawthorns. It's the first time this season the Albion boss has sent out the same starting line up. Albion's 3-1 win at the London Stadium has put them in the promotion frame but Saints will pose their biggest examination yet.

Morgan chance

Albion's first chance on 5 mins - Price releases Morgan in space on the right hand side but as he makes strides into the box, he can only shoot over the top. A really good opportunity wasted.

Albion line-up:

For first time this season Morrison names the same side - and why wouldn't he after Saturday's stylish win at West Ham. Rumours of an injury to seven-goal top-scorer JJ Morgan wide of the mark. One change on the bench, teenager Rio Parmar replaces Kareem Tunde, who picked up a minor foot injury at West Ham.

Team: O'Leary, Pereira, Styles, Mepham, Campbell (c), Molumby, Diakite, Nzingoula, Myhre, Price, Morgan.

Subs: Ingram (gk), Phillips, Stewart, Heggebo, Townsend, Bany, Whitwell, Parmar, Crowther.
