West Bromwich Albion will be looking to add more consistency to their pre-season when they face Northampton Town in a friendly. The Wednesday night clash at Sixfields Stadium will see two teams that are well into their pre-season preparations taking on each other.

Furthermore, it would have also provided their respective managers with an opportunity to assess their squad and get their game plan across to them. Hence, it will be difficult to predict a winner in this clash despite the superior quality possessed by the Championship outfit.

West Brom have been busy in the transfer window so far this season and have already brought in quality additions. Jayson Molumby, John Swift and Jed Wallace are signed with the intention of securing Premier League promotion. However, some of their players like Andy Carroll and Sam Johnstone are among those who have left the club.
Besides, the return of Kenneth Zohore and Alex Mowatt from injury during their last match would be a welcome boost for West Brom. It is, however, unclear if they will start the upcoming match or will come from the bench. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see whether Northampton’s star signing Danny Hylton gets some minutes on the pitch. Both teams could rotate their squads massively in each half to allow players to get a sufficient amount of game time.
