West Bromwich Albion

Last updated: Sat 08 December 2018 07:22
In Brief

West Brom frustrated to only draw with Brentford. Kyle Bartley injured. Hal Robson-Kanu and Bakary Sako doubtful.

Looking Back

Will be annoyed to have only drawn 1-1 at home to Brentford on Monday. Were winning 1-0 until injury time as Harvey Barnes scored again.

Have won three and drawn one in last three so are in good form but wasted too many chances on Monday.

Looking Ahead

Dwight Gayle may well replace Hal Robson-Kanu for this one. He has had to wait his time following a return from injury. In any case, Robson-Kanu has now emerged as a doubt.

Kyle Bartley remains injured while Bakary Sako is doubtful. No new concerns have been reported.

Aston Villa

Last updated: Sat 08 December 2018 07:22
In Brief

Villa enjoying life now under Dean Smith. Alan Hutton back from ban. Albert Adomah injured. Keinan Davis and Henri Lansbury doubtful.

Looking Back

Villa on a crest of a wave with four wins and a draw from last five and eight goals in last two games.

Magnificent as they won 3-0 at Middlesbrough last time out. Tammy Abraham scored the third goal in that win and now has 11 for the club and seven in the last four matches.

Looking Ahead

Alan Hutton is back after a ban and should slot in ahead of Ahmed Elmohamady.

Henri Lansbury and Keinan Davis are still doubtful.

Albert Adomah remains sidelined due to injury.

Points of Interest

Villa have three wins, three draws and four losses on the road this term.
