West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox has pinpointed the Baggies' fighting spirit as the key to their proud away record ahead of their clash with Bristol City. Cox and Co head to Bristol today having lost just once on their travels in the Championship - a defeat at Barnsley. The Baggies forward, who moved to The Hawthorns from Swindon Town last year, believes the players' attitude has been crucial to the successful run on the road. He said: "We have a never-say-die attitude when we play away. We like to try to play a game of attacking football and, when we get the chances, we tend to take them. Teams obviously have to come at us because they're at home and it suits us - we can sit back and then hit them. It's nice for us."

West Brom striker Roman Bednar has a good chance of being fit for the televised clash at Bristol City on Sunday. A back injury meant the forward failed a late fitness test prior to Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Cardiff but he was still named among the substitutes despite being unable to take part. Roberto Di Matteo will give him as long as possible to prove his fitness. Midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu will definitely be available for the trip to Ashton Gate as he returns from a one-match ban but winger Jerome Thomas remains in the midst of his extended five-match ban.
