West Brom preview: Hoping for another good result at home
While West Brom have been undefeated for 12 games in a row before their loss to Watford in the last round, 10 of those 12 games have ended without a winner, so the Baggies haven't really accumulated many points from their impressive streak. Overall, West Brom are eighth in the standings right now, two points behind the playoff zone.
When it comes to team news, Daryl Dike and Semi Ajayi are out with injuries, while Grady Diagnana and Paddy McNair are questionable.
Predicted lineup: Palmer (GK), Furlong, Holgate, Bartley, Heggem, Fellows, Molumby, Mowatt, Johnston, Grant & Maja

Bristol City preview: Pretty inconsistent so far
In the last eight games in the Championship, Bristol City have two wins, two draws, and four losses, so their form has been quite inconsistent lately and the entire season for that matter. Still, with 27 points from 21 games, they are 11th in the standings, which is pretty much in line with the realistic expectations from this team.
Meanwhile, Joe Williams, Sinclair Armstrong, Ayman Benarous, Kal Naismith, George Tanner, and Mark Sykes are all on the team's injury list ahead of this match.
Predicted lineup: O'Leary (GK), Vyner, Dickie, McNally, Pring, Bird, Knight, Hirakawa, Twine, Mehmeti & Wells

Player to watch: Josh Maja
The 25-year old Nigerian forward can't be overlooked as West Brom's most valuable player this season considering he has 10 goals in the Championship so far, along with a couple of assists. In fact, Maja is only behind Borja Sainz in the list of top scorers in the entire league, so he's clearly the player to watch in this game.
