Predicted West Brom starting XI v Hull City
West Brom will be looking to bounce back immediately in the Championship on Wednesday against Hull City.
The Baggies were embarrassed against Fulham on Saturday afternoon, and everyone will know that wasn’t good enough.
Valerien Ismael has plenty of issues to iron out in his squad, and changes are expected at The Hawthorns this week.
Sam Johnstone will continue in goal, and he was left stranded by his defence far too many times at Craven Cottage.
Only three of the back five will keep their spots, with Conor Townsend, Kyle Bartley and Matt Clarke getting the nod.
Semi Ajayi will be dropped after another shocker, and Darnell Furlong will miss out after being sent off for that challenge on Harry Wilson.
We expect Kean Bryan to come into the side with Adam Reach asked to play on the right-hand side and possibly use his left foot as a weapon cutting inside.
Jake Livermore will continue, and it will be Jayson Molumby alongside him this time around with Robert Snodgrass struggling last time out.
The changes continue in the final third – they simply have to.
Jordan Hugill and Matt Phillips will be dropped, and Karlan Grant will be the only one to keep his spot on the left.
That opens the door to both Callum Robinson and Grady Diangana, who could both run riot against Hull who are struggling in the relegation zone.
Here’s how we expect the Baggies to line up…
