Team News

WBA
Leeds
  • Carlos Corberan could hand a league debut Paddy McNair after he was deemed fit enough to start against Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup.
  • Grady Diangana and Jed Wallace are both confirmed absentees after missing both of West Brom's opening two competitive fixtures.
  • Joe Rodon, Junior Firpo, Joel Piroe and Ethan Ampadu will be the only players to keep their spots in the starting XI from Wednesday night's Carabao Cup defeat to Middlesbrough.
  • Daniel Farke should revert back to much of the starting XI that faced Portsmouth on the opening day of the season.
  • Georginio Rutter looks set to complete a move to Brighton, after the Premier League side activated his release clause.

Prediction

  • West Brom fans were left sweating when Brandon Thomas-Asante departed earlier this season, but Josh Maja's opening weekend hat-trick will ease fears about their attacking options.
  • A midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Fleetwood gives some cause for concern, but the Baggies will be confident they can be competitive here off the back of the 3-1 win against QPR.
  • Leeds dug deep to rescue a point against reigning League One champions Portsmouth last weekend with Brenden Aaronson's 94th-minute goal proving enough to cancel out a late Callum Lang penalty in a 3-3 draw.
  • A 3-0 midweek defeat to Middlesbrough is a concerning result for the pre-season title favourites ahead of their trip to the Hawthorns.

  • Josh Maja TSA +275

  • Leeds lost only 3 out of 17 games when scoring away last season.

  • Baggies will take advantage of mis firing Leeds. Also the FA Referee will give us all the wrong decisions making their job a lot harder. 2-0 Baggies maybe 3 with a dodgy pen,
