Carlos Corberan to axe Tom Fellows in two changes – West Brom predicted XI v Stoke
Carlos Corberan is predicted to drop Tom Fellows from his starting lineup for the West Brom game against Stoke City on Saturday (6 April).
The 20-year-old winger started for the Baggies in the 2-2 draw with Watford on Monday (1 April), but he was replaced by captain Jed Wallace with just under 20 minutes left on the clock.
Brandon Thomas-Asante had just scored to get Albion back into the game after they went 2-0 behind, with Darnell Furlong popping up in injury time to secure a point for his side at The Hawthorns.
Corberan has been rotating his forward options in recent weeks to try and keep them fit for a big promotion push in the final few weeks of the season as he’s predicted to make two changes to his lineup against the Potters.
After Alex Palmer has been in fine form for West Brom this season, the keeper is expected to keep his place in between the sticks, where he will be looking to add to his 16 clean sheets for the campaign.
Furlong is likely to get the nod again at right-back to continue providing a threat going forward on the back of his late equaliser against Watford.
Carlos Corberan has Cedric Kipre decision to make for West Brom
It remains to be seen if Cedric Kipre will be available, so based on the fact he wasn’t involved at all against the Hornets, at this stage, he’s unlikely to start at the Bet365 Stadium.
That means Semi Ajayi could continue in the heart of the defence, where he is likely to be partnered by veteran defender Kyle Bartley.
After nailing down his place at left-back once again over the past few months, Conor Townsend is expected to continue on the left of the back four.
Okay Yokuslu is predicted to start in the centre of the park alongside Alex Mowatt after the midfield pair have built up a promising partnership this season.
The forward areas are where it gets a little tricky, but given that Corberan has continued to rotate his attackers, the lively Fellows may drop out of the lineup and be replaced by Wallace on the right.
After Grady Diangana changed the game when he came on against Watford, he is likely to earn his place back in attacking midfielder instead of John Swift.
Mikey Johnston is predicted to continue on the left-hand side of the attack after he’s scored a number of excellent goals since making his loan move from Celtic in January.
With options limited in the striker department, Thomas-Asante is expected to lead the line once again and he’ll be looking to build upon his goal against the Hornets.
