West Bromwich vs Bristol City
West Bromwich have after a difficult spell racked up two straight wins in the Premier League which leaves them in the middle of the table with a 9 point cushion down to Newcastle in 18th. This allows them to also focus on the FA Cup as they take on Bristol City in the 3rd round today. Baggies boss Tony Pulis has promised to field a strong and very attack minded eleven, even though a few players will be rested.
Team news: West Brom could have goalkeeper Ben Foster back for the first time in 10 months. Salomon Rondon and James McClean are also likely to feature after their suspensions. Saido Berahino will also be included despite uncertainty surrounding his future in the club. Victor Anichibe is out with a hamstring injury.
Bristol City are somewhat in a hole at the moment after losing 5 straight in the league which now leaves them in the relegation zone. The focus will hence definitely be on the league instead of the cup and The Robins boss Steve Cotterill has plenty of worries ahead of the clash. He has also lost key defender Elliot Bennett, who joined Blackburn as soon as the transfer window opened.
Team news: Bristol City are facing an injury crisis and defenders Nathan Baker and Derrick Williams are not likely to be included in the squad. Luke Freeman is also a doubt as well as a few others so things are not looking the best.
