West Brom set for reshuffle as Steve Bruce looks for first win vs Blackburn Rovers - Predicted eleven

Bruce will be hoping his first game at the Hawthorns results in thre

Steve Bruce is expected to make wholesale changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Sheffield United as he searches for his first win as manager of West Bromwich Albion.

Whilst it was hard to judge the performance as a whole last time out due to the man disadvantage for well over half of the contest, there still were some glaringly obvious poor individual displays which have more than likely cost them a starting place versus Blackburn Rovers.

One that will be enforced is of course the man that saw the Baggies fall to the man disadvantage, captain Jake Livermore.

Livermore was given his marching orders for a two-footed lunge on Conor Hourihane and following an unsuccessful appeal, will now miss the next four league games.

Kyle Bartley (illness), Matt Phillips (injury) and Daryl Dike (injury) are all confirmed out for the game at the Hawthorns. Whilst Monday evening’s game is expected to be the last that Bartley misses, Phillips and Dike are both facing a lengthier spell on the sidelines.

Here’s the eleven BirminghamWorld believe West Brom go with against Blackburn Rovers.
