West Brom host Stoke City in the Championship on Sunday afternoon.

West Brom are back at The Hawthorns tomorrow lunchtime where they welcome a managerless Stoke City side.

The Potters sacked Alex Neil after a 1-0 home defeat vs Sheffield Wednesday last weekend, following that up with a 1-1 draw against Swansea City in midweek.

West Brom meanwhile bounced back from a 2-1 loss at Sunderland with a routine 2-0 win away at Rotherham United in the week.

Carlos Corberan now finds his side sitting in 5th place of the Championship table, but four points behind Southampton in 4th.

Latest West Brom team news

The big blow for West Brom is that Josh Maja faces another extended period on the sidelines after suffering ankle ligament damage vs Sunderland.

He returns alongside the likes of Daryl Dike and Martin Kelly, though the latter pair don’t appear to be too far away from a return to action.

Matt Phillips is another recent injury blow for the Baggies, with the Scot also facing around four months on the sidelines.

Adam Reach returned to the bench vs Rotherham and could make his return to action tomorrow.

How will Carlos Corberan line up vs Stoke City?

We might not see too many changes to the West Brom team that beat Rotherham.

Although it was against a struggling side, in their first game under a new manager, it was a commanding performance and one which saw the likes of Jed Wallace return to the side, and return to scoring ways.

He’ll no doubt keep his spot in attack, but one change we could see could be the return of John Swift who was benched for the game in South Yorkshire.

The likes of Cedric Kipre impressed that game and so he should make up an unchanged back line, alongside the experienced Kyle Bartley who’s recently returned as well.

Here’s how we think West Brom will line up against Stoke City tomorrow…
