Chancel Mbemba will be sent for a second scan in Belgium next week and could be out for more than a month after picking up an ankle injury in Wednesdays 3-0 defeat to Everton.Paul Dummett (hamstring) is also out after being injured in the same game, while Jamaal Lascelles is suspended after being sent off late on. Newcastle start Saturdays game in the relegation zone, eight points behind Saturdays opponents.Team news Steve McClaren has problems in defence Newcastle boss McClaren has drafted three under-21 players - Callum Williams, Liam Gibson and Dan Barlaser - into his squad and says one of the youngsters may have to start at left-back to cover his injury problems.Steven Taylor will also start in defence, despite only playing two games in 13 months.Midfielder Jack Colback - a candidate to fill in at left-back, is also out with a hamstring problem, while Deadline Day signing Seydou Doumbia will be in the squad but is not in contention to start. Midfielder Cheick Tiote is available after his proposed move to Shanghai Shenhua fell through.West Brom have also been dealt a blow ahead of the game with the loss of Jonny Evans to injury.Evans limped off against Swansea on Tuesday night with a hamstring problem and the defender will be out for at least a couple of weeks.The Northern Ireland international joins compatriot Chris Brunt (calf), James Morrison (hamstring) and Callum McManaman (ankle) on the sidelines.Saido Berahino will be in the squad against the club who had a bid for him rejected before the transfer deadline, although boss Tony Pulis says the striker is unlikely to start as he continues to build up his fitness.Opta stats Tony Pulis says Saido Berahino has been a big miss for West Brom West Brom have won none of their last six Premier League away trips (W0 D3 L3).Victor Anichebe has netted five Premier League goals against Newcastle, more than against any other team in the competition.West Bromwich Albion have scored 39% of their goals from headers this season, a Premier League-high.The average age of West Broms starting XI in the Premier League this season has been 29 years, 247 days old; the oldest average of all PL teams in 2015-16.The Baggies have scored 42 goals in 42 Premier League matches under Tony Pulis.Newcastle have gone nine Premier League games without a clean sheet (9), only North East rivals Sunderland are on a longer wait for a shutout than them in the top-flight (10 games).Mersons predictionThis has the makings of a good game. West Brom under Pulis rarely lose to sides at the bottom and they play well away from home. Saying that, Ive got to go for Newcastle to get the win. Theyre at home, theyve got all their new signings and they need to bounce back from their defeat at Everton. Its a must-win game for Newcastle, theyll be thinking they havent got too many of these sort of games remaining.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 Steve McClaren says Newcastles performance in their 3-0 loss to Everton was unacceptable BettingNewcastle are even-money with Sky Bet ahead of the visit of 11/4 shots West Brom with the draw trading at 12/5.

Suddenly Yorkshire are the masters of white-ball cricket. Alex Lees and his players will arrive at Edgbaston for Finals Day in the NatWest Blast expecting to do well and, to add to their pleasure, there is also a 50-over semi-final against Surrey in prospect.But it was not always this way. Just two months ago Yorkshires best chance of getting points in the NatWest T20 Blast seemed to be an abandonment. So how has the team that was regularly beaten turned into the team to beat? What has changed?Having won five of 14 games and finished next to bottom of the North Group in 2015, Yorkshire had won none of their first five matches this year (although two were abandoned) and seemed to have little chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals.Then they played Derbyshire at Headingley on June 19 and, when rain swept across the ground, their nine-over score gave them a grimy one-run Duckworth-Lewis victory. That was the first of seven wins Yorkshire were to record in this years Blast and, following last Thursdays demolition of Glamorgan at Cardiff, they will arriving at Edgbaston on Saturday in confident mood.I think most people were writing us off but we had that self-belief that if we got one win, we would get on a roll and do well, said the T20 skipper, Lees. As a team weve bought into the ideology of backing yourself and backing your team-mate. The key is to do the same thing when things are not going so well.We sat down and had a couple of chats and said that we knew we were better than the way we had performed. Weve been poor since 2012. Weve done it as a team, as a collective, and thats our blue print.All of which is fine, of course, but rather similar things might have been said by any skipper whose county was playing pretty dismal short-form cricket. And yes, T20 is a game of frustratingly daft narrow margins. The key is to ensure that, far more often than not, you end up on the right side of them. The reasons go deeper than that.Lets go back to that game against Derbyshire because it was important for more than just the result. The game saw the return to Yorkshires T20 team of Adam Lyth, whose confidence had received a fillip when he had hit successive 50-over hundreds against Northamptonshire and Lancashire a few days previously. Lyth blasted 30 off 16 balls, hitting three fours and a couple of sixes. Muck or nettles, he has carried on blasting ever since.But the match against Derbyshire also saw the return to Yorkshires T20 side of Azeem Rafiq, who had been released a couple of years earlier, yet whose form has been such since his re-engagement that he has been awarded his first-team cap. Rafiq is currently bowling his short-form overs at 6.9 runs apiece and he has taken 13 wickets, making him second only to Adil Rashid and Tim Bresnan in Yorkshires list of successful T20 bowlers this season. Azeem was a revelation for us, particularly in those middle overs with Adil, Lees said. He gives you consistency. His bowling has made my jjob a lot easier.dddddddddddd. I was assured hed be back at some point in the next few years but I didnt know in what capacity and now hes been rewarded with his first-team cap.And the biggest thing for Adam is that hes been backed. There is a carefree attitude that were going to go out and have a good time. The same thing can be said of David Willey, who didnt get the runs he would have liked early in the season.There is a sense in all this that Yorkshires cricketers have taken the brakes off in T20 cricket. Those brakes may not have been applied at all times in all games but they do not need to be. You only need to have four bad overs in the short-form stuff and its Goodnight, Vienna.Perhaps something of this approach was communicated to Lyth and his players by Kane Williamson, the New Zealand leader to whose team talks Rafiq has paid particular tribute.Theres never just one voice in our dressing room, said Lees. There are 11 players who voice their opinion and thats the Yorkshire way in all our cricket. Kane came in at the right time, he was a great character to have around the dressing room and he gave us a bit of direction as to the way we should go, particularly when we were unsure.Kane give us that calmness as well as his own view. We got on a roll when no one believed we should be at a Finals Day and here we are.The results of any change of attitude have been different with each player but they have been particularly evident with two cricketers at very different stages of their career. Jack Leaning has found that hitting sixes is something he can do on a regular basis while Bresnan is suddenly mixing up his deliveries like a drunken postman.Jacks gone from nudging and nurdling it around to whacking it out of the park, said Lees. Hes found his method in white-ball cricket and that can only come from confidence and hes now very confident in that format.Tim is experienced and he probably looked at how he went last year and just adapted things a little bit. May be he has mixed it up a little bit. This year it seems hes bowling tight and he was exceptional in the game at Cardiff but in his own words his first ball was a pie and he got a wicket with it. Last year, it would have gone out of the ground.Liam Plunkett has been some rapid spells, proof that simple, searing pace has a home in Twenty20 and Lees himself, in his first season as a youthful captain, has worked on his own game well enough to enter Finals Day as Yorkshires leading run-scorer.Some would argue that Yorkshire are the form horses at this years Finals Day and they will be boosted by the availability of Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow et al. Whatever else, they will play without fear and with a brio that was absent in the grim days of May and early June. It has been some transformation but at Edgbaston it will receive its most searching test.
