Team News: Saido Berahino to start for West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino is named to start in his side's derby at Aston Villa, while Alan Hutton replaces Leandro Bacuna for the hosts.

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has been named to start in his side's derby at Aston Villa this afternoon, making his first start for the club since their 0-0 draw with Watford on August 15.

Berahino replaces Rickie Lambert up front for the visitors this afternoon, while Northern Irish winger James McClean is named in the starting XI in place of Callum McManaman, who also drops to the bench.

The visitors continue with Boaz Myhill in goal, as new signing Anders Lindegaard is made to wait for his West Brom debut.

Villa manager Tim Sherwood has made one change from the side that lost 3-2 to Leicester City last weekend, as Alan Hutton replaces Leandro Bacuna at right-back.

Carles Gil and Jack Grealish both continue in midfield after their goal-scoring exploits last week.

Aston Villa: Guzan; Hutton, Richards, Lescott, Amavi; Sanchez, Westwood; Gil, Grealish, Sinclair; Agbonlahor
Subs: Bunn, Clark, Bacuna, Cole, Veretout, Ayew, Gestede

West Bromwich Albion: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Brunt; Morrison, Fletcher, Yacob, McClean; Berahino, Rondon
