West Bromwich Albion are in Sky Bet Championship action for potentially the last time this season on Monday as they take on Swansea City away from home. The hopes of finishing in the play-off spots are not over just yet as Albion can qualify with a win - as long as other results go their way too.
It’s been a rollercoaster campain for West Brom, with the last few weeks summing it up. It was two wins on the bounce against Stoke City and Blackpool in the middle of April but those results were followed by two defeats in a row, against Sunderland and Sheffield United. The Baggies then got back to winning ways at home to Norwich City.
Form at The Hawthorns has often been better than on the road for Albion but they will have to put that behind them on the final day. It could be difficult though as Swansea, who have won six and drawn two in their last eight outings, are one of the most dangerous sides in the entire division at the moment.
As has been the case for much of the season, injury troubles have struck Carlos Corberan ahead of this one, with a number of key players either definitely missing or doubtful to feature. As a result, it’s been a tough week to predict the West Brom starting XI, but we’ve given it our best shot nonetheless. Flick through the pages to see who we’ve picked.
1. West Bromwich Albion predicted starting lineup vs Norwich City
Here are the 11 players we think Corberan will choose on the final day.
2. GK - Alex Palmer
Has taken the goalkeeping spot back away from Josh Griffiths and he will no doubt keep ahold of it.
3. RB - Darnell Furlong
The best option at right-back for Albion, albeit a little inconsistent with his performances.
4. CB - Semi Ajayi
Has really improved after a shaky return from injury a month or so ago. Should retain his place.
