Wholesale attacking changes as Corberan switches formation - West Brom predicted XI v Watford - gallery
Here’s how we predict West Bromwich Albion to line up against Watford in the EFL Championship on Wednesday.
West Bromwich Albion are in away EFL Championship action yet again on Wednesday evening as they travel south to take on Watford at Vicarage Road.
Carlos Corberan’s side slumped into the bottom half of the league standings at the weekend as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Bristol City.
Worse still, the Baggies didn’t manage to record a single shot on target in that game and travelling supporters were left severely disappointed.
There’s an opportunity to bounce back now, though, as Watford have started the season in very similar fashion to Albion and are only above on goal difference.
Corberan is likely to make plenty of changes due to a combination of the fixture congestion ramping up and the lacklustre performance in an attacking sense last time out.
With that in mind, here are the 11 players we think West Brom will start on Wednesday, as well as brief explanations for each of our inclusions.
Worse still, the Baggies didn’t manage to record a single shot on target in that game and travelling supporters were left severely disappointed.
9. RW - Jeremy Sarmiento
Corberan needs to change something on the right and Sarmiento should offer more danger than Wallace on current form.
10. LW - Matt Phillips
Has been playing as a wing-back of late but could step up the field into a more advanced position with a formation change.
11. ST: Brandon Thomas-Asante
