Armstrong axed, three changes: West Brom predicted XI v Bristol City
Tony Mowbray could make three changes to his West Brom side as they look to stop the rot with a trip to Bristol City on Tuesday.
The Baggies come into this game without a win in four, having dropped out of the play-off places and down to eighth in the Championship table.
West Brom fell to a 1-0 defeat against Sunderland on Saturday (5 April) and Mowbray could make several changes to his team, with a win desperately needed.
Adam Armstrong could make way for Will Lankshear to get a rare start with goals desperately needed.
Mowbray needs to change things at West Brom
As Mowbray looks for his side to get some points on the board, the boss could well try out a different combination as it seems he is still trying to settle on his strongest starting line-up.
Although he disappointed supporters who felt he should have done better when Sunderland scored, Joe Wildsmith is still expected to remain in goal for West Brom.
Mason Holgate had to miss out against Sunderland due to picking up a knock but he could be available for Mowbray to bring straight back into the side to replace Darnell Furlong.
He would join Kyle Bartley, Torbjorn Heggem and Callum Styles in the back line.
Mowbray to make attacking changes
Isaac Price is another who had to miss out on Saturday through injury, and Mowbray’s update does not sound positive for the rest of his season.
However, Tom Fellows may be brought into the fold in place of Grady Diangana, who could fall to the bench.
Diangana, who has been linked with a move away from The Hawthorns in the summer transfer window, lost 11 duels against Sunderland and won zero per cent of his tackles [FotMob], which could prompt the boss to make the change.
Jayson Molumby, Alex Mowatt and Mikey Johnston, however, are expected to retain their places in the hope of pushing the Baggies up the field.
Karlan Grant could remain up top, but the manager could take a chance on Lankshear, with Armstrong dropping to the bench in his place.
Mowbray has been reluctant to use Lankshear as often as he would have hoped for during his loan spell, instead opting for the experienced Armstrong.

However, if the boss really wants to see change, then it may be time for him to try something new when his alternative option is not delivering on the field.
