Predicted West Brom Line-up To Face Leicester City In The Premier League
West Brom face Leicester City on Monday night, and the club will be hoping for a change of luck. Their start to the new season hasn’t been too great so far. The Baggies conceded an equaliser in the 5th minute of stoppage-time as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Watford in the final game before the international break.
Facing the Foxes will not be an easy task and Tony Pulis will need his men to be in top form, as they hope to register a win.
Team News
Burke will be vying for a spot on the wing with Chris Brunt, Matt Phillips, and James McClean, who will be buoyed by his crucial goal for the Republic of Ireland against Wales. Meanwhile, Salomon Rondon and Nacer Chadli will return to training on Saturday after an extended leave of absence ahead of this clash.
Here’s How West Brom Might Lineup Against Leicester City On Monday Night:
Manager: Tony Pulis
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Ben Foster (GK)
Foster has not been in the best of forms but he should be getting a start against Leicester City on Monday.
Craig Dawson (RB)
The reliable Dawson should assume his usual role at right-back and be at his usual self.
Jonny Evans (CB)
After the Watford game, pressure will be on Evans to perform better. Evans will be deployed at the heart of the defence in his usual role.
Ahmed Hegazi (CB)
Hegazi will partner Evans, and both players will have to be stronger after their mistakes against Watford. They need to work on maintaining focus throughout the match.
Kieran Gibbs (LB)
Gibbs should retain his left-back spot and he will need to be extra vigilant about ensuring that the defence remains strong.
Gareth Barry (CM)
Barry will also have to clean up after the mess against Watford. Establishing control over the midfield will be key for the player.
Grzegorz Krychowiak (DM)
Krychowiak will join Barry as both players look to guard the defence against the power of Jamie Vardy.
James McClean (LW)
Although there are other players vying for the spot, McClean should retain his place after his impressive performance during the international break.
Jake Livermore (CAM)
Livermore will be extremely important going forward. It will not be easy to go up against a Leicester midfield and the player will need to be at his best.
Matt Philips (RW)
Philips should be back on the right-hand side of the midfield as he will be keen on continuing his good start to the new campaign.
Jay Rodriguez (CF)
Rodriguez should lead the pack and will be responsible for penetrating the Leicester defence to get his name on the scoresheet.
