West Bromwich Albion are back in Sky Bet Championship on Monday evening as they take on fellow Midlands side Coventry City. Heading out on the road to the Coventry Building Society Arena, Carlos Corberan will be eager for his side to perform just as well as they have at The Hawthorns recently.
Back on the fringes of the playoff spots following three wins in five, Albion are in good form but need to ensure they can build some momentum away from home. Coventry are all the way down in 20th spot after a disappointing start to the campaign but are dangerous when the confidence gets flowing.
Corberan will be very aware of the Sky Blues’ threat and so he’s likely to put out a strong lineup. Cedric Kipre’s injury isn’t as bad as first feared, but will he get the nod to play from the start? Click through the pages to see the 11 players we predict will make West Brom’s lineup.
1. GK - Alex Palmer
Two clean sheets on the bounce for the goalkeeper. He’s done a terrific job lately.
2. RWB - Darnell Furlong
In decent form at the moment, meaning summer loan signing Pipa must wait on the bench.
3. CB - Caleb Taylor
Kipre’s injury isn’t as bad as first feared but Corberan is unlikely to risk him so shortly after. Taylor, who’s just 20 years of age, stepped in late on midweek and could do so again.
4. CB - Kyle Bartley
Stays ahead of Ajayi as a physical figure at the heart of a West Brom back three.
