da aviator aposta: West Brom will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Championship table this afternoon as they host Charlton Athletic at the Hawthorns.
da dobrowin: In midweek, the Baggies had to come from behind to salvage a point against the division’s basement boys, Barnsley, as the visitors went into half-time with a two-goal cushion thanks to a six-minute brace from striker Cauley Woodrow.
Slaven Bilic’s men fought back in the second half with Matheus Pereira proving to be the main influence – his inswinging corner was turned in by a Tykes player before he headed home the equaliser nine minutes from time.
The Croatian has plenty to think about going into this tie, surely he will make a couple of changes?
The 51-year-old’s half-time substitutions practically inspired Albion into making such a comeback – he made the bold call of replacing Nathan Ferguson with the rarely-seen Connor Townsend, and it paid dividends.
The 26-year-old had only played 19 minutes of Championship football before the off, but when called upon he was more than ready, providing the all-important assist for the equaliser.
He surely keeps his spot while on the right-hand side, Darnell Furlong has done little to warrant being dropped.

Kyle Edwards started the game in Matt Phillips’ absence, but it is hoped their joint-top goalscorer is fit enough to play today.
In attack, Charlie Austin failed to score in yet another game, it’s just the one goal in nine appearances this season, which has led to fans blasting his contribution.
Bilic may well turn to Hal Robson-Kanu, who looked the livelier of the two after his introduction on Tuesday evening.
Ahmed Hegazi will have to continue to wait for his opportunity with the rest of the side remaining much the same.
