West Bromwich Albion return to league action later this evening as they look to extend their winning run to a seventh successive game in the Championship.

Standing in their way is Wigan Athletic as they play host at the DW Stadium.

The Baggies were in dominant form on Sunday afternoon as they thrashed playoff-hunting Swansea City 5-1, even despite the visitors not recording a defeat away from home before kick-off.

Meanwhile, the home side languish in the relegation places, so we could well have a cricket score on our hands if last weekend was anything to go by.

Will manager Slaven Bilic make any changes? Here's our predicted line up...

The Croatian chief will be enforced into at least one switch as left-back Kieran Gibbs picked up yet another injury. It seems likely that Darnell Furlong will be reintroduced to the starting XI with Nathan Ferguson switching back over to the other side.

Kyle Bartley should be fit enough to play having suffered a gruesome cut below his eye in the same game. A Zorro-like mask should do him wonders alongside Semi Ajayi with no other changes in defence.

Both Romaine Sawyers and Jake Livermore continue to hold the fort in the engine room with Matheus Pereira, who has contributed to 19 goals alone this season, spearheading the central zone.

It could be a perfect opportunity to hand Matty Phillips a rest and given Kyle Edwards' recent contributions off the bench - one goal and one assist in his last two matches - he should slot in nicely as a like-for-like replacement.

Grady Diangana keeps his place on the other wing with Charlie Austing being the preferred 30-year-old to lead the line. Hal Robson-Kanu has played a lot of football recently, starting five straight, and could too be rested as December often brings a hectic schedule.
