West Brom's leading scorer Peter Odemwingie is battling to be fit for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City at Eastlands. The Nigeria international registered his ninth goal of the season in Tuesday's 2-2 home draw with Wigan but suffered an ankle injury in the same match and is anxiously assessing the situation ahead of the weekend. Odemwingie told Press Association Sport: "It is my ankle. Someone stepped on it in the first half against Wigan. "I started feeling something. I will get some treatment and hopefully it will not swell up and I will prepare for Saturday. "It is always interesting to play against a big team like Manchester City so I am hoping there will be no difficulties with the ankle."
