West Bromwich Albion face one of their most important games of the season so far as they take on fellow Championship play-off chasers Millwall on Saturday afternoon. It’s a huge six-pointer with the sixth-placed Lions currently five points ahead of Albion. Carlos Corberan’s side also have a game in hand still to play.
Baggies supporters will be hoping their team can continue the outstanding home form set out before the international break, as West Brom have won 10 of their last 11 matches at The Hawthorns. Just one goal has been conceded throughout this incredible run.
Millwall have their task cut out, to say the least, but they too have put in some decent performances of late. Two wins in their last five make them far from an easy opposition for Albion to face – especially when considering this is also a huge game for their own play-off hopes.
The Lions will likely see this as a must-not-lose, whereas it is definitely a must-win for West Brom. With that in mind, we think Corberan will go for an attack-heavy starting XI this weekend, though he does have some difficult decisions to make when it comes to his back line. See below.

Flick through the pages as we reveal the 11 players we think Corberan will choose on Saturday.
2. GK: Josh Griffiths
With clean sheets in three of his last five appearances, it would feel unfair to drop Griffiths – even with Alex Palmer now back from injury. A tough call for Corberan.
3. RB: Darnell Furlong
Been a mainstay at right-back under the new manager and continues to be so following a nice rest.
4. CB: Dara O’Shea
Was on form for the Republic of Ireland on international duty and returns to The Hawthorns full of confidence.
