Romaine Sawyers on bench, O’Shea missing – Confirmed West Brom starting XI v Fulham
West Brom have named an unchanged side for their Premier League clash with Fulham on Monday evening.
Slaven Bilic has kept faith in the side that drew against Brighton, including Filip Krovinovic and Conor Gallagher in midfield.
Confirmed on their Twitter account prior to kick-off, the Baggies have welcomed back Romaine Sawyers to the bench after his absence against Brighton.
Karlan Grant has kept his spot in the side after scoring his first goal for the club in the 1-1 draw against Brighton last week.
With Ahmed Hegazi a distant memory, the partnership between Branislav Ivanovic and Semi Ajayi has been given another chance.
It was this fixture last year where Ajayi scored his first goal for the club, and it would be perfect timing for the colossus to do the same tonight.
The Baggies drew both games against Fulham last season, and three points tonight would turn an average start into one with great promise.
The trip to Craven Cottage will be seen as a six-pointer for the Albion, who could double their points total with a win in the capital.
Three points would see the Baggies create a five-point gap to Monday’s opponents, as well as Burnley and Sheffield United.
Bilic has hit back at people who suggested his side would finish bottom in the Premier League, saying they’re not there yet, and three points would be the perfect response to those doubters.
