Andy Carroll starts – Confirmed West Brom starting XI v Bournemouth
Steve Bruce has named a strong starting line-up as West Brom take on Bournemouth in the Championship on Wednesday at the Hawthorns.
The Baggies boss has reshuffled his attacking options with Andy Carroll and Grady Diangana returning to the side.
Karlan Grant and Callum Robinson have been dropped from the previous game with senior striker Grant not even making the bench.
Strong finish
West Brom suffered a huge blow in the hopes of a top-six finish after they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Birmingham City.
The Baggies will be looking to return to ways against Bournemouth who are second in the table, eight points behind Fulham.
At the moment, the Baggies should forget about play-off thoughts, rather they must look to end the season strongly.
Steve Bruce has insisted that he wants to stay at the club and guide them to promotion next season, but for that to happen, massive rebuilding work is needed.
There are a lot of players on the side who are on big wages and they need to be shipped out.
The squad needs to be strong enough next season, but prior to that, the mentality among the players need to change. Bruce must develop a winning habit among the players.
However, they first need to finish the season on a high note to take the confidence forward.
