West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has urged his players to respond to their midweek defeat at Swansea City.

The Baggies, who entertain Stoke City this weekend, were beaten for the first time in four matches on Wednesday as they went down 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium.

"The players know, and our fans are knowledgeable enough to know, it is a tough league and you will have days like this and I am looking forward to Saturday to see a response," Clarke told reporters.

Fourth-placed West Brom welcome Stoke to The Hawthorns on Saturday.
