Predicting James Morrison’s West Bromwich Albion lineup to face Luton Town at home in the Championship.

West Bromwich Albion are in action one last time to round off the 2024/25 Championship season as they play host to relegation battlers Luton Town.

The Baggies have won just one of their last nine Championship games and no longer have any chance of finishing in the play-off positions. The Hawthorns faithful will be bitterly disappointed with how the season has concluded, given Albion started brilliantly and were in the top six for many months.

West Brom, currently 10th in the standings, can move up or down one place depending on this weekend’s result. Although that wouldn’t change the fact that the campaign has ultimately been a failure, it would be nice to at least finish off with a win to put a few smiles on faces.

It won’t be easy, though, as Luton are fighting for their lives just above the relegation zone. The Hatters, in 21st place, head into this one with a mere one-point buffer to 22nd-placed Hull City. A win would secure survival, and they’ve been victorious in their last three, so Albion can expect plenty of fight from their opponents.

Interim boss James Morrison has a few selection dilemmas to consider against Luton. Should he allow the players leaving to have one last farewell appearance? Or is it more important to get a closer look at players who can be utilised next campaign? Or could there be a balance of both approaches?

West Brom predicted lineup vs Luton

Without further ado, here’s the XI we reckon Morrison will name against the Hatters.

GK - Josh Griffiths: The young goalkeeper has done well since replacing Joe Wildsmith, especially away at Cardiff last time out as he made a host of important saves.

RB - Isaac Price: A controversial position change, perhaps, as he plays well in the 10, but Price was excellent at right-back when Darnell Furlong was suspended. Furlong has been terrible lately and doesn’t deserve to start.

CB - Kyle Bartley: Albion will need to sign a new centre-half in the summer, but Bartley will likely carry on in the XI for now. The experienced defender recently penned a one-year contract extension.

CB: Torbjorn Heggem: Nobody has made more tackles for West Brom this term than Heggem. The Norwegian was rightfully named the Player of the Season by both the fans and his teammates.

LB - Callum Styles: Albeit not the most consistent performer, Styles is usually the best option at left-back. The Hungary international likes to invert inside and advance up the field where possible.

RM - Tom Fellows: Albion’s star academy product has been out of form of late but should start. It could be his last appearance for the Baggies as there’s a lot of interest from the Premier League.

CM - Jayson Molumby: Back from suspension, Molumby missed the trip to Cardiff through illness. He’s ready to go again now, though, and should start as Albion need his passion in midfield.

CM - Ousmane Diakite: It would be good to see Diakite get the nod again as he’s shown signs of great potential. He may not be the best on the ball, but he’s got great physicality to break up the play.

LM - Mikey Johnston: Albeit hot and cold since signing permanently from Celtic, Johnston is superb on his day. He offers a bit more directness on the left.

CAM - Grady Diangana: A farewell appearance for Diangana, who will be leaving upon the expiry of his contract. He’s not played particularly well this season, sadly.

ST - Adam Armstrong: One last start for Armstrong, who will head back to Southampton disappointed he couldn’t have more of an impact. The striker has scored three Championship goals for Albion.
