West Brom boss Clarke confident Anelka will start scoring

West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke is unconcerned over Nicolas Anelka's lack of goals.

Clarke has no concerns about Anelka's wait for a goal in an Albion shirt as competition for places up front intensifies at The Hawthorns.

"Good strikers will keep getting in good positions and if they keep getting in good positions, the goals will come," said the head coach.

"That's got to be the mantra for any striker. They have got to keep getting into good positions.

"Victor (Anichebe) is back from injury and ready to go and yes, it gives me a problem.

"Victor's back, Saido's playing well, there's Nicolas, Matej Vydra is available, Markus Rosenberg is there, I've got loads of options up front. It's a good problem to have."
