Three changes as Bartley dropped - Confirmed West Brom starting XI v Newcastle
West Brom have made three changes to their side for the Premier League clash with Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.
Slaven Bilic has brought in Callum Robinson to replace Matheus Pereira, who is suspended for three games after his red card.
Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, Dara O'Shea and Filip Krovinovic have also come into the side for Kyle Bartley and Grady Diangana.
The Albion need to bounce back from that humiliating defeat last time out against Crystal Palace at the Hawthorns.
Bilic knew he would be without Pereira for the trip to St James' Park, in a decision that he labelled "simply unfair."
Newcastle have had their own major issues this week, with COVID-19 sweeping through their base and even closing down their training ground.
Steve Bruce will have been preparing with the knowledge of who is and who isn't available in the North East, and there is no questioning that it won't have been easy.
West Brom will know that this is a must-win game.
Not only for their league standing but for the future of Bilic. The Mirror have reported that the Croatian could only have one game left to save his future.
Kevin Phillips has also exclusively told West Brom News that it is likely that Bilic will be relieved of his duties should he lose today.
Three points would send the Albion out of the relegation zone, and let's cross our fingers that this is the side to do just that.
