Confirmed West Brom team news: Krovinovic dropped in two changes v Fulham
West Brom manager Slaven Bilic has made two changes to his starting line-up ahead of the huge meeting with Fulham at The Hawthorns.
Albion confirmed on their official Twitter account an hour ahead of kickoff on Tuesday that Kyle Bartley has been dropped to be replaced by Ahmed Hegazi.
Filip Krovinovic, who scored in the draw at Blackburn, has also been dropped with Grady Diangana replacing him in what seems like a 4-2-3-1 formation.
West Brom face their first ‘must-win game’ as they approach the final three fixtures of the Championship season.
The Baggies dropped two points in their draw at Blackburn on Saturday as Brentford moved to within three points of Slaven Bilic’s side, while also having a better goal difference.
Brentford’s face play-off contenders Preston on Wednesday night so there is hope that if Albion fail to beat fourth-placed Fulham, Alex Neil’s side can do them a favour.
However, defeat versus the Cottagers would put automatic promotion firmly in the hands of Brentford as seven points in the remaining three games would mean West Brom secure second-place in the league.
It does not help that the Baggies have not won any of their last eight meetings with Fulham, drawing the last three 1-1.
You have to go back almost 10 years to West Brom’s last victory over the London club when Youssouf Mulumbu and Marc-Antoine Fortune scored in a 2-1 win in October 2010.
We hope that Albion’s players are willing to step up and make themselves heroes by producing a similar result this Tuesday.
