📰 Team News: West Bromwich Albion

Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon surgery) and Adam Reach (Thigh Problems) will not be taking part for West Bromwich Albion gaffer Carlos Corberán.

It’s our opinion that The Baggies will probably make use of the 3-4-3 system, beginning the first half with Alex Palmer, Semi Ajayi, Kyle Bartley, Erik Pieters, Matthew Phillips, Jayson Molumby, Alex Mowatt, Conor Townsend, Grady Diangana, B. Thomas-Asante and Jeremy Sarmiento.

🗞️ Team News: Millwall

Due to a completely injury-free squad to pick from, the Millwall manager Gary Rowett doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this match.

We are inclined to think that The Lions could decide to utilise a 3-4-1-2 lineup by sending out Bartosz Bialkowski, Ryan Leonard, Jake Cooper, Murray Wallace, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Ryan Longman, Casper de Norre, Allan Campbell, Zian Flemming, Tom Bradshaw and Duncan Watmore.
