Team News

WBA
Sunderland
  • Carlos Corberan rested Conor Townsend, Alex Mowatt and Grady Diangana in midweek, but expect all three to return on Saturday.
  • Josh Maja returned to the bench on Wednesday, meaning Jayson Molumby and Daryl Dike are West Brom's only confirmed absentees here.
  • Expect two changes from Mike Dodds on Saturday afternoon with Aji Alese and Patrick Roberts both in line for recalls.
  • Sunderland have five injuries to contend with ahead of their trip to the Hawthorns this weekend.

Prediction

  • West Brom were hardly challenged by a Rotherham side that is winless in all of their 21 away league games this season as they faced off at the Hawthorns on Wednesday night, cruising to a 2-0 home win with help from a controversial penalty call.
  • With that result, the Baggies are now unbeaten in their last 10 league outings.
  • Sunderland put up a noble fight against promotion-chasing Leeds in midweek, holding out for a goalless draw thanks to an impressive defensive display.
  • Mike Dodds has steadied the ship somewhat following a dismal run of form, and the Black Cats have now lost just one of their last five Championship matches.
