View: Star to make PL bow, youngster steps up in 3 Bilic changes – Predicted WBA XI v Burnley
It’s time for changes for West Brom and Slaven Bilic as we pepare to face Premier League bottom club Burnley.
Sean Dyche’s side have yet to register a point in the top-flight yet but the Baggies are only a point better off.
And Bilic has hinted that it’s time to introduce some new blood into the side.
As quoted in the Express & Star Bilic said of Branislav Ivanovic and Conor Gallagher: “I can now treat them as a part of the squad, without any of the question marks. They are now treated liked everybody else.”
There’s unlikely to be any change up top after it was revealed that Callum Robinson would be available to play after self-isolating.
It means that new signing Karlan Grant is likely to be used off the bench if at all – he hasn’t played yet this season and will be struggling for match fitness.
We think Bilic will make three changes in total, with Ivanovic and 20-year-old Gallagher coming in for their Premier League bows.
Darnell Furlong should also come in with Dara O’Shea, Romaine Sawyers and Kyle Edwards dropping out.
A win will take a lot of pressure off West Brom and we think there’s enough quality in the side to make that happen at The Hawthorns this evening.
This is the starting XI that will be hoping to get West Brom’s first win in the 20/21 season.
