Tony Pulis says departing West Brom striker Saido Berahino needs to "get his act together", but wishes him well as the 23-year-old joins Pulis' former club Stoke for £12m.
David Moyes says conceding goals has become a "disease" for Sunderland after their 2-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion took their goals against tally to 42.
West Brom's new £10m signing Jake Livermore starts on the bench as Tony Pulis makes just one change to the side that lost 4-0 to Tottenham.
Full-back Allan Nyom starts in place of Jonas Olsson. Nyom has been cleared to play after Fifa dismissed dismissed a complaint by Cameroon Football Federation. The 28-year-old, who has missed the last two games, had told his country he did not want to play in the Africa Cup of Nations.

West Brom v Sunderland (15:00 GMT)
Eighth in the table. Two wins in the last three games. And a home game against a struggling Sunderland team. Life is pretty good if you are a West Brom fan right now.
Yet their winning run has presented boss Tony Pulis with problems. How does he keep his players happy when they are not in the side?
"The most important thing is to be honest and straight with them," Pulis told Adrian Chiles in an interview for The Premier League Show.
"If you try and be clever eventually it will spin round and catch you out. One day they might say 'I didn't like him but he was a straight fella'."

Last January, Sunderland effectively saved themselves in the transfer window. Under Sam Allardyce they invested in Lamine Kone, Jan Kirchhoff and Wahbi Khazri, who all played a significant part in the club's escape.
I am taking nothing away from Allardyce's achievement by saying that I reckon David Moyes could do just as well given the same opportunity to bolster his squad. But it seems that Sunderland are either unwilling, or unable, to support Moyes in the same way.

Are you a Sunderland fan? Are you starting the day with a mild sense of optimism?
David Moyes will soon suck that from you.
The boss says any new signings will struggle to make a significant impact on his team's fortunes after admitting his transfer budget is "limited with a big L".
The Black Cats currently sit second from bottom in the Premier League.
"I'd be kidding if I said the players we're going to bring will massively make a big difference," said Moyes.
"We probably couldn't get that level of player and probably wouldn't have the finances."
