Grosicki & Krovinovic start, 7 changes – Confirmed West Brom team v Blackpool
West Brom manager Sam Allardyce has rung the changes to his Baggies side as they prepare to face Blackpool in the FA Cup.
There are a total of seven changes to the team that lost to Arsenal last time out in the Premier League, with Allardyce eager to get a good look at his options.
Confirming the news via their official club Twitter account, this is what the Albion team to face Blackpool looks like.
Into the side come the likes of Lee Peltier, Kamil Grosicki and Filip Krovinovic. There is also a start for the returning Jake Livermore following his three-match suspension.
With the January transfer window now open, the meeting with the League One side may be the final chance for a number of players to impress in an Albion shirt before heading out on loan or perhaps permanently.
Good performances from a number of these players could see them work their way into Allardyce’s plans for the Premier League.
The bookies think that West Brom are the likeliest to win the game but the fact we’re only priced at evens shows what a bad season we’re having.
