Predicted West Brom line-up to face Birmingham City in the Championship

West Bromwich Albion will be aiming to break into the top-6 after picking 10 points from their opening 6 games of the season. The Baggies travel to St. Andrew’s Trillion Trophy stadium to take on Birmingham City this weekend and will be aiming to come away with a win.

Darren Moore’s men will be confident going into the game after beating Stoke City last weekend and with Birmingham playing out a 0-0 stalemate with QPR, the club now face a risk of falling into the relegation zone.

Team News

Except for Oliver Burke, Darren Moore will be glad to see all his players return in top shape. The manager can now pick a strong side to go up against Birmingham City this weekend.

Probable West Bromwich XI

Manager: Darren Moore

Formation: 3-4-1-2

Sam Johnstone (GK)

West Brom should aim to sign the loanee on a permanent basis at the end of the season. He has looked superb for the Baggies so far.

Craig Dawson (RCB)

Dawson has flourished in a 3-man backline so far and should be fielded in a similar position once again.

Ahmed Hegazi (CB)

The Egyptian is paying dividends for the Baggies with his inspirational performances for the club. Should start.

Kyle Bartley (LCB)

Bartley has impressed after making the move from Swansea City this summer. He should complete the 3-man backline.

Phillips is one of the Baggies’ driving forces going forward. He has already scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist in 6 games this season.

Jake Livermore (RCM)

Livermore’s tough-tackling defensive presence will be vital for the Baggies in the middle of the park.

Chris Brunt (LCM)

Brunt is yet to hit full stride this season but the Northern Irishman will definitely come good in no time.

Kieran Gibbs (LM)

Gibbs has flourished after making the move from Arsenal. He has really settled into this West Brom team.

Harvey Barnes (CAM)

The 20-year-old looks confident and venomous each time he’s on the ball. He should be deployed right behind the strikers.

Dwight Gayle (ST)

Gayle scored both the goals to hand the Baggies a win over Stoke City. He should start against Birmingham City as well.
