West Brom’s 10 best performing players in the Championship - with no Karlan Grant

West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to get back to winning ways when the Championship returns on October 1.

The Baggies are without a win in their last five league games leaving them 21st in the table, one place above the relegation zone on goal difference.

Steve Bruce’s side have won just one of their 10 opening league games, drawing seven and losing twice.

Despite their poor league position Albion are the fourth highest-scoring team in the division, netting 15 times.

The Baggies drew 1-1 with Norwich City in their last outing, their fourth draw in five games.

Albion will welcome Swansea City to the Hawthorns on Saturday and will be looking to secure their second win of the season.
