West Brom predicted XI v Fulham
West Brom are facing a top-of-the-table clash in the Championship on Saturday afternoon as they take on Fulham.
Valerien Ismael has numerous problems in his squad ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage including the fitness of Alex Mowatt.
Jake Livermore is also returning from suspension, meaning that there could be a selection headache in the next 48 hours.
Sam Johnstone will keep his spot in the side, and the keeper is simply undroppable at The Hawthorns this season.
Darnell Furlong and Conor Townsend are also in that category at wing-backs, and they will be critical to three points here.
Keeping Aleksandar Mitrovic quiet will also be key to that, and Kyle Bartley will be tasked with that role in the middle of the back three.
Matt Clarke and Semi Ajayi either side of the skipper will bring good pace to the defence to halt the likes of Bobby Reid and Harry Wilson.
Livermore is back available for selection, and Mowatt may also be back, but we believe they could be made to wait.
Jayson Molumby and Robert Snodgrass were both sensational in the win over Bristol City and simply have to start at Craven Cottage.
There will be one change in the final third too.
Callum Robinson will start in the place of Jordan Hugill, with pace surely set to be a real weapon against the Cottagers.
Matt Phillips and Karlan Grant are the two who look to keep their spots under Ismael, and it looks as though they will continue.
Here’s how we expect the Baggies to line up…
