Team News

WBA
Cardiff
  • Kyle Bartley was dropped for Paddy McNair in midweek but the experienced centre-back could return to the starting XI on Saturday.
  • Mason Holgate missed the trip to Ewood Park with a minor injury and remains a doubt for this weekend's game against Cardiff.
  • Ömer Riza could stick with the same starting XI that faced Portsmouth following an impressive performance on home soil.
  • Joe Ralls and Kion Etete are among five first-team players on the Cardiff injury list this weekend.

Prediction

  • West Brom were unable to find a way past Blackburn goalkeeper Aynsley Pears on Wednesday night as the two sides settled for a goalless draw at Ewood Park. After a barnstorming start to the campaign, Carlos Corberan's side have lost momentum and they head into this difficult fixture winless in five Championship outings.
  • Ömer Riza's impressive interim stint continued on Tuesday night as a Regan Poole own goal was followed up by a strike from Callum Robinson, setting Cardiff up for a deserved 2-0 home win against Portsmouth. The Bluebirds have now taken 10 points from the last 12 available as they prepare to visit the Hawthorns.
