West Brom preview: Baggies looking to shake off poor form

West Brom’s 2-1 victory over Oxford United just before the international break was their only success for the last couple of months. One of the more concerning stats is the fact the Baggies failed to score in three of their last five Championship matches.
The hosts will be without the suspended Jayson Molumby, who picked up a red card against Coventry City last weekend. Jed Wallace will be on the sidelines through an injury.

Predicted lineup: Griffiths (GK), Taylor, Mepham, Phillips, Campbell, Mowatt, Diakite, Johnston, Price, Iling Junior & Heggebo

Last five matches

• Coventry 3-2 West Brom (Championship)
• West Brom 2-1 Oxford United (Championship)
• Charlton 1-0 West Brom (Championship)
• West Brom 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday (Championship)
• Ipswich 1-0 West Brom (Championship)

Birmingham preview: Momentum building for the Blues

There is a lot to like about the Blues at the moment. Birmingham have won three of their last four, scoring three goals in all those successes.

The visitors will be looking to continue their impressive run, but they will have to do that without the injured duo of Scott Wright and Lee Buchanan.

Predicted lineup: Beadle (GK), Cochrane, Klarer, Neumann, Iwata, Paik, Doyle, Gray, Stansfield, Roberts & Ducksch

Last five matches

• Birmingham 4-1 Norwich (Championship)
• Middlesbrough 2-1 Birmingham (Championship)
• Birmingham 4-0 Millwall (Championship)
• Birmingham 4-0 Portsmouth (Championship)
• Bristol City 1-0 Birmingham (Championship)

Player to watch: Jay Stansfield

Birmingham forward Jay Stansfield has enjoyed a couple of very impressive performances in recent weeks.

The 23-year-old scored a brace against Norwich last weekend, and also had two goal contributions against Millwall before the international break.
