West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Norwich City. They came away from that fixture with 74% of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Norwich City managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 12 games.
They have had a strong run of form at The Hawthorns recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Brandon Thomas-Asante will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in West Bromwich Albion's last 6 league games.
Leeds United, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Preston North End will have left the Leeds United squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Preston North End's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
Crysencio Summerville will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Leeds United.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
The West Brom defence has struggled against The Whites in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games. When Leeds are away to The Baggies in the league, they know how to find the net, with 7 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.33 per game.
West Brom has had a poor run of results against Leeds having not won any of their last 6 meetings.
West Brom manager Carlos Corberán has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon), Josh Maja (Ankle) and Matt Phillips (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Stuart Dallas (Broken hip) and Jamie Shackleton (Buttocks) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Daniel Farke will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
