8 Minutes for Wood at Anfield

Chris Wood was thrown into the Anfield cauldron with eight minutes to play of West Brom's 1 nil loss to Liverpool. He was a late inclusion in the squad after Roman Bednar picked up an injury during the warm up. Unfortunately for the Baggies who put in a gutsy display, the sending off of James Morrison shortly after Wood's arrival left them having to chase the game with ten men in the dying stages. No heroics from Wood today, who replaced new signing Marc-Antoine Fortune, but a sign the Manager has confidence in the young All White.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reckons Derby has emerged as favourite to secure Wood on loan.
