West Brom's FA Cup hopes have been hit after a flu bug swept through the squad.
Ben Foster, Ahmed Hegazi, Gareth McAuley, Jay Rodriguez, Sam Field and James McClean are all struggling ahead of Saturday's fourth-round trip to Liverpool.
Boss Alan Pardew wants to play a strong side in the tie at Anfield but will wait until the last minute to see who is fit.
He said: "We'll be strong. We've got a little bit of a flu bug in terms of a few players. McClean, Rodriguez, Foster, Hegazi and G-Mac, so there's a few.
"We'll have to see how we go overnight to really assess the team.
"But certainly there's enough players available to not make too many changes."
Albion drew 0-0 at Anfield in the Premier League in December and are three points from the safety line.
Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has suffered an injury setback which rules him out of the FA Cup fourth round tie at home to West Brom.
The England international missed almost four months at the start of the campaign with a thigh strain sustained in a pre-season friendly but after just seven appearances he has been sidelined again by a minor muscle tear.
"Adam Lallana has a little issue which I think, pretty sure, keeps him out for the next game," said manager Jurgen Klopp.
