View: Yokuslu & AMN start, Livermore dropped in 4 changes – Predicted West Brom XI v Spurs
West Brom travel to Spurs in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon looking to improve their recent shocking record.
The Baggies disappointed massively on Tuesday as they lost their crucial relegation six-pointer against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Sam Allardyce wanted to see more fight from his side, before admitting that he expects his January signings to make a massive difference.
We expect plenty of changes against Spurs.
Sam Johnstone will continue in-between the sticks as he continues to perform out of his skin with numerous quality saves.
The back four will see the first change, with Dara O’Shea to drop out for Darnell Furlong to come in after his error for the second goal.
Kyle Bartley, Semi Ajayi and Conor Townsend will complete the back four, with the none of the new additions coming in defence.
Okay Yokuslu should come into the midfield for his debut and is available. He will be partnered by Conor Gallagher, with his energy needed to counter the pace of the Spurs midfield and attackers.
That means Jake Livermore will be dropped, and he hasn’t deserved to keep his spot after yet another shocker at Bramall Lane.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles will come in on the right, with Robert Snodgrass to return to his familiar position out wide, rather than in the middle of the park, somewhere he clearly didn’t have the fitness for.
Matheus Pereira and Mbaye Diagne will complete the starting XI, and continue to form their partnership that has already seen them combine for one Premier League goal.
Here’s how we expect the Baggies to start against Spurs…
