Team news & squads
West Bromwich Albion team news
With Conor Townsend joining West Brom's injured list featuring the likes of Daryl Dike, Matt Phillips and Josh Maja, Baggies boss Carlos Corberan may be prepared to name a very similar side to the one selected for the 4-1 victory over Huddersfield Town over the weekend.
Semi Ajayi is an obvious option for the centre of defence and may be preferred if Erik Pieters is switched to full-back or Corberan goes with a back three.
West Bromwich Albion possible XI: Palmer; Furlong, Kipre, Pieters, Reach; Yokuslu, Mowatt; Fellows, Diangana, Johnston; Wallace
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Griffiths, Palmer, Cann |
| Defenders: | Ajayi, Kipre, Bartley, Pieters, Townsend, Furlong, Pipa, Kelly |
| Midfielders: | Yokuslu, Chalobah, Swift, Mowatt, Molumby, Reach, Diangana, Wallace, Phillips |

Bristol City boss Liam Manning will be missing the likes of Sam Bell, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous this weekend. The Robins showed excellent grit and determination to grind out the victory last time out, so there's no reason whatsoever to make wholesale changes here.
