- Russell Martin utilised a 3-5-2 system in the first leg with the result being an assured defensive display but a lacklustre attacking one.
- With Southampton at home in the second leg, Martin could revert back to a more aggressive 4-3-3 set-up on Friday.
- Che Adams remains heavily doubtful after missing out on the matchday squad at the Hawthorns, while Sekou Mara should drop to the bench after an anonymous first-leg display.
- Carlos Corberan could make one change to the starting XI that stepped onto the turf on Sunday with Jed Wallace replacing academy graduate Tom Fellows on the right.
- Daryl Dike and Jayson Molumby remain the away side's only injury concerns for this play-off semi-final second leg.
Armstrong baby
West Brom have won just 2 of their last 12 away matches.
Soton have won 10 of their last 12 home matches.
Southampton Win.
