- Hal Robson-Kanu completes his three-match ban this weekend.
Weird line up from Pulis. Why the whole sale change ? He's shifted Dawson to right back, Nyom to left back and brought in Evans. That's technically 3 changes in defence. I find that unnecessary and odd and no wonder they've struggled when they brought another new face Krychowiak in
Krychowiak is going to make huge impact on the game, BTS - no, under 2.5. WBA DNB.
@SynystePL lol
0-0 you spuds!
draw
West Brom have @3 on win, not bad for their form.
0-1 Rodriguez.
I don't see many goals coming in this game.
when did WBA last win by two clear goals away? Brighton have never conceded four at the Amex.
WBA win
Brighton 0 - 1 WBA
All four Brighton strikers are listed as injured
One of the biggest matches of the season! Wba will win this game. Hegazi is superior and his next step will be man u next season.
Jay Rodriguez to score.
1-1
Brighton's strengths are protecting the lead. They haven't even scored a goal let alone protect a lead! It's gonna be a goal fest.
@Perseus It doesn't make sense at all, it says that West Brom's biggest weakness is aerial duels even though they scored the most goals from set-pieces last year in the Prem - let alone the fact that they also have the highest average in the league of tall players. Some of the "characteristics" doesn't make sense at all, I even laughed reading your comment.
@ZuberiMamba is it last years？
@Waterbug That set-piece stat was last years, but then again - two of their three goals scored this seasons have come from aerial duels (headers). Hegazi scored with his head against Bournemouth and Jay Rodriguez with his head against Stoke. They are lethal on aerial duels, but still these stats indicate the quite opposite.
@ZuberiMamba West Brom is bare minimum average in aerials. None of their players even have weak in aerial duels on their who scored profile. If they want to say it's not a weakness or a strength fine, but very weak in aerial duels is nonsense. I also disagree with Hegazi and Dawson only being strong in aerial duels on profile. They should have very strong.
@Champion I set that up wrong, allow me to rephrase: I meant that they have the tallest players in the league (highest average of tall players). They are super strong on aerial duels, and it does make sense that Pulis rarely buys players shorter than 5"11". I can see Kieran Gibbs struggling to get into that starting XI.
