da cassino online: West Brom have no reason to change anything at the moment.
da betway: The Baggies have won four of their last five games, and they’re currently sitting pretty at the top of the Championship.
You’d think that the team is pretty much picking itself at the moment, but there are a couple of areas that are giving Slaven Bilic a headache.
Bilic’s problem areas
Ahmed Hegazi and Kyle Bartley have been battling for the right to be Semi Ajayi’s partner at centre-back in recent weeks as Bilic has juggled between using the pair.

Hegazi started the Midlands club’s 3-0 win over Bristol on Saturday, but Bartley had started the four games prior to that.
Another selection headache that has emerged is in the midfield. Romaine Sawyers’ red card has left Albion in the lurch, with Gareth Barry and Rekeem Harper mooted as possible replacements, even though the pair have only played 112 league minutes between them.
However, there is an alternative option that would solve both of these problems.
Alternative solution
One simple fix would be to put Ajayi into the midfield and start both Hegazi and Bartley in the defence.
Ajayi has been one of West Brom’s most important defenders this term, starting 31 league games at centre-back, but he can also play in the midfield.
He’s actually very good when he does play in a more advanced role as well, winning the Championship Player of the Month for March last term while playing exclusively as a defensive midfielder that month.
Ajayi may actually be a better option than either Barry or Harper, and moving him would also allow Bilic to get both Hegazi and Bartley on the pitch, in turn, solving another selection dilemma.
