ℹ️ Team News: West Bromwich Albion
Jayson Molumby (unknown injury) and Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon surgery) are not available for West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberán.
It seems likely that The Baggies could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Alex Palmer, Darnell Furlong, Kyle Bartley, Cédric Kipré, Adam Reach, Okay Yokuslu, Alex Mowatt, Jed Wallace, Grady Diangana, Michael Johnston and B. Thomas-Asante.
📰 Team News: Bristol City
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there is just the lone fitness issue for the Bristol City boss Liam Manning to be concerned about. George Tanner (Ankle injury) won’t be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that The Robins seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Max OLeary, Ross McCrorie, Zak Vyner, Robert Dickie, Cameron Pring, Mark Sykes, T. Gardner-Hickman, Joe Williams, Anis Mehmeti, Jason Knight and Tommy Conway.
✨ Prediction
Our thinking is that Bristol City certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this West Bromwich Albion side, however it probably shouldn’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We are anticipating a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for West Bromwich Albion at the end of the match. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
