West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they take on Watford this Saturday.

The Baggies will host the Hornets at The Hawthorns, where they were unable to get three points against Charlton Athletic last time.

But Albion have started better than Alessio Dionisi's side in the league this term, winning seven points from their first four games compared to Watford's five.

The visitors are winless in five in all competitions, and are coming off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Swansea City.

James Morrison will have some big decisions to make, with Watford set to be his side's third game in seven days.

West Brom are used to beating Watford at The Hawthorns, but Morrison must pick his best side to stop the Hornets from bouncing back.

Morrison will almost certainly need to make some changes after his side had 71 per cent of the ball against Charlton.

However, Max O'Leary and the centre-back partnership of Nat Phillips and George Campbell are unmoveable at the moment, and are likely to start once again.

The same can be said about Callum Styles, while the game may come too early for Brayann Pereira, with Nolan Galves predicted to start.

Isaac Price and Ousmane Diakite are both sure starters, while Jayson Molumby has a more likely chance of starting week in, week out after the departure of Alex Mowatt.

Morrison's first change could be choosing to rest Felix Horn Mhyre, who could drop out the side for Rabby Nzingoula to make his first start in the league after an impressive 45 minutes against Charlton.

The other change may come in attack.

Aune Heggebo to get place back vs Watford

Jimmy-Jay Morgan is highly likely to keep his place after a fine start to the season.

The big question will be over the man who will join him in attack.

Kareem Tunde started in attack last time out, but was hooked at the break.

Aune Heggebo is likely to come back into the side, with Tunde the man who could drop out.

Barney Stewart may have to be patient for a little while longer yet, but could still make an impact off the bench.
