JAMES SANDERS, Goalkeeper Signed from Chariton Athletic in 1945, this Hackney-born player was Albion's first choice until Norman Heath took over two years ago.   He gets his chance to-day because of the spinal injury Heath suffered a month ago.  Sound rather than spectacular and is not likely to be affected with nerves.  Height 5 ft. II in.;weight 12 st.

STUART WILLIAMS Right Back This 23-year-old reserve gets his chance because of injury to Rickaby. Turned in some outstandingly good performances in the Albion " serial " with Chelsea last season.  To-day marks his first appearance in this season's Cup competition.

LEONARD MILLARD, Left Back (Capt.) Since making his first-team debut in 1942, Albion's 33-year-old captain has been almost an ever-present.  He has already beaten the record of Albion appearances set up by Jesse Pennington.  Coseley-born, Millard joined the club 17 years ago from Sunbeam Works team, and has played in almost every position.  Height 5 ft. 9 in.;  weight 11 st. 7 Ib.

JAMES DUDLEY, Right Half On the fringe of the Scottish international side, Gartosh-born Dudley has already played for his country's " B " team.  Among the hardest workers in the Albion side, he is equally strong in attack and defence, and has a wealth of experience although he is only 24.  Height 5 ft. 10 in. ; weight II st. 8 Ib.

JAMES DUGDALE, Centre Half Although Joe Kennedy was strongly fancied as England's centre half until he was injured midway through last season, Dugdale's brilliant form since he took over has kept his predecessor in the Albion reserve side.  Having already represented England " B," it appears to be only a question of time before Jim receives full international honours.   Liverpool-born, he went to the Hawthorns in 1952. Height 5 ft. 10 in.; weight II st. 6 Ib.

RAY BARLOW, Left Half Generally regarded as the best attacking wing half in soccer to-day, well-built, thrustful Barlow is a brilliant ball player and distributor.  Swindon-born, he joined West Bromwich at the age of 15, and although his tendency to " wander " with the ball at his feet may well be responsible for the fact that he has not gained tnore international honours, he still has time to become an England regular. Height 6 ft. ; weight 13 st.

FRANK GRIFFIN, Outside Right On Bolton Wanderers' books as an amateur, Manchester-born Griffin joined Shrewsbury Town in 1949, and after a season there, during which time he gained valuable experience under former international winger Sammy Crooks, was transferred to West Bromwich.  Fast, slightly-built Griffin is a team player in the real sense of the word.  Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 10 st. 10 Ib.

REGINALD RYAN, Inside Right Dublin-born Ryan, like Dudley, is a " naturalised " Midlander, having moved to Coventry when he was eight.  The perfect inside man to play in front of an attacking wing half of the Ray Barlow type, this Irish international has played no small part in Albion's success this season. His soccer accomplishments include a devastating long throw.  Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight II st. 9 Ib.

RONALD ALLEN, Centre Forward One of the smallest leaders in the game, Allen was signed from Port Vale as a winger four years ago, and made his England debut on the wing.  So effective has been his wandering style this season, however, along with inside-man Johnny Nicholls, that both were chosen for the Hampden match against Scotland last month in an attempt to reorganise the England attacking style. Quick thinking and speed off the mark have made Allen a real problem for opposing centre halves. Height 5 ft. 8 in. ; weight 10 st.

JOHN NICHOLLS, Inside Left Having already played this season for the England under-23 side in Italy, Nicholls was capped for England against Scotland last month as a fitting reward for the brilliant season he has had.   The understanding he has worked up with Allen has brought them both a prolific number of goals.  His intelligent positional sense when Allen roams has been a great contributory factor to the success of this Wolverhampton-born former centre forward.   Height 5 ft. 8 in.;  weight 10 st. 7 Ib.

GEORGE LEE, Outside Left 'Signed on professional forms by York City on his seventeenth birthday, Lee arrived at the Hawthorns by way of Nottingham Forest.  A powerful left-foot shot, he is never afraid to attempt to score from seemingly impossible angles and distances.  Relies on speed rather than tricks to beat his man, having developed his pace during his army service, when he won the B.A.O.R. 220 yards and half-mile championships.  York-born.  Height 5 ft. 9 in.; weight 10 st. 8 Ib.
