Predicted XI: West Brom vs Cardiff City

West Bromwich Albion head into tonight’s conflict towards Cardiff Metropolis off the again of three disappointing league outcomes and a few injuries.

The Baggies sit twentieth within the Championship desk and are nonetheless extremely mild up entrance after the injury sustained to Daryl Dike which can see him dominated out till after the World Cup.

Steve Bruce will likely be hoping {that a} match underneath floodlights at The Hawthorns can encourage victory towards a Cardiff facet who’ve received two of their opening three fixtures and sit fifth within the desk.

Will Bruce make any modifications to the starting XI which stumbled to a 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday? Right here’s how we expect West Brom may line up towards the Bluebirds tonight.

With no main absentees since their go to to Ewood Park, it appears unlikely that we are going to see any wholesale modifications going into this fixture.

David Button is predicted to maintain his place in between the sticks, sitting simply behind an unchanged again 4 of Darnell Furlong, Semi Ajayi, Dara O’Shea and Conor Townsend.

Okay Yokuslu might be a recent inclusion, with the “solid” midfielder having signed permanently for the membership earlier this summer time on a £29k-per-week deal. He’ll probably change Jake Livermore, who endured a irritating afternoon at Blackburn as he lost all three duels, slotting in alongside Jayson Molumby within the midfield engine room.

Do you assume West Brom will choose up their first win of the season tonight?

With the attacking midfield three of Grady Diangana, John Swift and Jed Wallace managing six shots and seven key passes between them on Saturday, all three are more likely to maintain their locations for tonight.

In latest video games, Karlan Grant has been preferred to the “clinical” Callum Robinson and once more seems to be set to start out up entrance. This might frustrate the 27-year-old, who hasn’t been given a lot of an opportunity these days regardless of Dike’s damage.

Predicted West Brom XI (4-2-3-1) vs Cardiff: Button; Furlong, Ajayi, O’Shea, Townsend; Molumby, Yokuslu; Wallace, Swift, Diangana; Grant
