📋 Team News: West Bromwich Albion

There is just a single fitness concern for the West Bromwich Albion boss James Morrison to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group. Josh Maja (Calf injury) will miss out.

We are thinking that The Baggies could use a 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Joshua Griffiths, Darnell Furlong, Kyle Bartley, T. Lysaker Heggem, Callum Styles, Ousmane Diakite, Alex Mowatt, Tom Fellows, Isaac Price, Daryl Dike and Karlan Grant.

ℹ️ Team News: Luton Town

We are inclined to think that The Hatters will likely make use of a 3-5-2 system, giving starts to Thomas Kaminski, Christ Makosso, Mark McGuinness, Teden Mengi, Isaiah Jones, Thelo Aasgaard, Liam Walsh, Kal Naismith, Amarii Bell, Millenic Alli and Carlton Morris.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that West Bromwich Albion might need a bit of good fortune to find the net against this Luton Town lineup who we think will be able to grind out a win.

We’re therefore seeing a 0-1 victory for Luton Town at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see how this one goes.
