West Brom boss Mowbray backs Moore for big derby performance

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is expecting a big performance from Luke Moore in their derby clash with Aston Villa.

"He is working extremely hard, he scored a goal against Manchester City and his work ethic has been pleasing for us," Mowbray said.

"He has to understand that there are times when you have to work your way through periods where things don't quite go for you.

"The shoots of a hard-working and effective footballer are there for all of us to see.

"He is fired up for every game because of his lack of opportunity and yet in going back to Villa I hope he sees an opportunity to help his current team.

"He could do with a goal and there would be no better place than back at Villa Park for him to get it.

"I'm pretty sure he would enjoy scoring there for his new club."
