For yet another weekend, West Bromwich Albion will have to wait for their fixture as the rest of the league plays beforehand.

24 hours prior to Swansea City making the trip to the Hawthorns, the Baggies' nearest challengers Leeds United will have played out their game with Huddersfield Town, meaning once again Albion could lose their top spot temporarily.

But last time out they proved that pressure doesn't get to Slaven Bilic's side as that exact scenario happened until they battled out a 1-0 victory over Preston North End, who hadn't lost at home before then.

West Brom weren't at their full potential on Monday so should the Croatian tinker his starting line up?

We predict that there will be two changes as Bilic looks for improvement.

The first of which is in attack with Charlie Austin starting over Hal Robson-Kanu. The £4m summer signing has bagged in three straight matches now, coming off the bench in all of them while the 30-year-old was unable to continue his own goalscoring run.

Grady Diangana is also at risk of being dropped after a rare poor performance and given that Kyle Edwards' introduction against Preston practically won them the match - he was fouled for the penalty - then he could well be rewarded with a start.

It means the rest of the squad lines up much the same, that's including Bilic's recent defensive tweak which has seen Kyle Bartley and Semi Ajayi flip positions while Kieran Gibbs and Nathan Ferguson continue at full-back.

The likes of Ahmed Hegazi, Kenneth Zohore and Gareth Barry will have to wait for their opportunities.
