West Brom Preview – Can West Brom put in a better shift ?
Following a 1-0 defeat at home to Wigan Athletic in the Championship but an upcoming clash against Newcastle United in the FA Cup, we can expect West Brom manager, Slaven Bilic, to make changes for this cup-tie as he seeks to get a response from his players after their abject display at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
That loss to Wigan ended a run of 6 matches without defeat in all competitions for The Baggies which included Championship wins against Luton Town, Millwall, Reading, Bristol City and Preston North End.
Without doubt, West Brom’s number one priority is to return to the Premier League so this cup-tie may serve as a hindrance but nevertheless, the players will be keen to bounce back from that disappointing result against Wigan.
In addition, a shuffled pack in personnel steers me towards the goal markets here and in particular, both teams to score as 14 of West Brom’s 18 home matches in all competitions have seen both teams score.
Newcastle United Preview – Can Newcastle Utd improve on road?
Following their dismal 0-0 draw at home with Burnley, just points separate Newcastle United from the relegation zone so there’s still plenty of work to do for The Magpies in order to avoid relegation from the top tier as they make their way down to the west midlands for this FA Cup clash at West Brom.
Recent form suggests that a straight win for Newcastle here may be asking too much even though they’re up against Championship opposition as Steve Bruce’s side have managed to record just 1 win out of their last 7 matches, and indeed, just 3 wins from their last 14 matches overall in all competitions.
Premier League survival is at the top of Bruce’s list and he too is expected to make some changes for what could be a welcome distraction from the pressures of top flight football, and in particular, avoiding the drop down to the Championship.
Newcastle’s last 3 away ties in the FA Cup have seen both teams score too.
