Scunthorpe will be without Marcus Williams and Garry Thompson when they travel to high-flying West Brom.Left-back Williams serves a one-match ban after being sent off in Saturday's defeat against Crystal Palace for a professional foul on Kieron Djilali.Iron boss Nigel Adkins felt Williams was unfortunate to be shown a straight red card, but opted against an appeal as he felt the video evidence may not be sufficient to get the decision overturned.On-loan Nottingham Forest full-back Brendan Moloney is expected to replace Williams in what will be his first start for the Iron.Midfielder Thompson sustained a hamstring injury against the Eagles and definitely misses out, so either Michael O'Connor or Josh Wright will come into the starting line-up.Defenders Andrew Wright (ankle) and Niall Canavan (knee) both remain on the sidelines.
