“Joe will start,” he said. “After that we will talk about the next game.
“The important thing for Joe is he will play on Wednesday and we hope he will have a very good performance.”
He said there was ‘‘no chance’ Hart would be sent out on loan in the New Year.
Meanwhile, West Brom’s Ben Foster, Hart’s England rival, said: “The bottom line is that Joe is a great goalkeeper and if I were his manager then I would just put a big arm around him.”
