West Bromwich comes for this match after a home draw, by two balls, against Charlton. Contrary to the "enemy" of this fixture, the visiting team must act in a 4-3-3 tactical system in order to try to take advantage of the counterattacks. In any case, even acting away, it is expectable that West Bromwich will take a more offensive stance, given they have a superior quality squad. One of the great features of visiting team is how they can respond to a disadvantaged situation. West Bromwich coach won’t be able to count on Nathan Ferguson and Jake Livermore for being punished.

Confirmed Lineup: Sam Johnstone, Darnell Furlong, Conor Townsend, Semi Ajayi, Kyle Bartley, Jake Livermore, Romaine Sawyers, Grady Diangana, Matt Phillips, Matheus Pereira, Charlie Austin.
Coach: S. Bruce.
