West Bromwich Albion will host Watford in a Championship match at the Hawthorns on Monday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough last Saturday, while Watford got the better of Sheffield United 1-0 three days later. West Brom’s first competitive game of the new campaign was a hard-fought encounter. Steve Bruce’s side created the better chances and probably should have come out with a better result. Nevertheless, the English tactician would be pleased with his side’s performance against the Boro.

Last Saturday at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough took an early lead through Isaiah Jones before John Swift equalised for West Brom to share the spoils. Watford, on the other hand, began their quest for promotion back to the top tier of English football with a narrow win against Sheffield United. At Vicarage road, last Tuesday, Joao Pedro’s lone goal was enough to separate the two sides and earn three points for Rob Edwards’ side. Beating a quality side like Sheffield United represented the best possible start for a new manager.

West Brom boss Bruce is unlikely to make too many changes to the playing eleven that earned a point against the Boro. Dike could lead the line with last game’s goal-scorer Swift playing behind the striker. Molumby and Livermore are likely to pull the strings in the midfield. As for Watford, Pedro is expected to be the target-man up front with Dennis and Sarr playing around him. Cleverly could join Kamara in the middle of the pitch.
West Brom probable starting lineup: Button; Furlong, Ajayi, O’Shea, Townsend; Molumby, Livermore; Wallace, Swift, Philips; Dike
