West Brom now considering shock move for £200k p/w Brazilian star…
West Brom will fancy their chances of securing a second successive victory in the Championship when they entertain Leeds United at home on Saturday.
The Baggies opened the season with a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers, while Leeds were held to a 3-3 draw by Portsmouth.
Both teams were dumped out of the Carabao Cup in midweek, with West Brom losing 2-1 to Fleetwood, while Middlesbrough got the better of Leeds with a statement 3-0 win at Elland Road.
West Brom captain Jed Wallace remains sidelined due to a calf problem, but he is hoping to return in September.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke made eight changes for the defeat to Middlesbrough, and the likes of Illan Meslier, Jayden Bogle, Pascal Struijk, Ilia Gruev, Mateo Joseph, Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto are expected to return.
However, Georiginio Rutter could miss out, with reports suggesting he has agreed to join Brighton.
West Brom had the fifth best record at home in the Championship last season, losing four of their 23 games at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies scored 38 goals in front of their own fans, and they also avoided defeat against Leeds in both meetings last season.
Carlos Corberan’s side beat Leeds 1-0 at home in December, four months after a 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
