Team News

WBA
Birmingham
  • Carlos Corberan could hand a full league debut to Bristol City loanee Andreas Weimann this weekend after he missed the FA Cup clash with Wolves.
  • Semi Ajayi and Grady Diangana are both still on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Expect Korean midfielder Paik Seung-Ho to make his debut after joining from K-League outfit Jeonbuk Hyundai.
  • Alfie Chang and George Hall are the away side's only injury concerns here.

Prediction

  • West Brom head into this clash against Birmingham off the back of consecutive 2-0 defeats.
  • The Baggies were beaten 2-0 in their last league outing by a struggling Norwich side before falling to a disappointing home defeat in an FA Cup meeting with arch-rivals Wolves.
  • Despite those results, the hosts remain fifth in the table heading into gameweek 30.
  • Birmingham were no match for the attacking might of Enzo Maresca's Leicester side in the FA Cup last time out, but a 2-1 away win against Stoke in their last Championship fixture will give the visitors hope as they travel to the Hawthorns.
  • The Blues sit seven points clear of the relegation zone ahead of Saturday's game.
