How West Brom could line up against Crystal Palace

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how West Bromwich Albion could line up in Saturday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

West Bromwich Albion will be looking to boost their survival hopes when they travel to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Baggies, who are currently 19th in the table, eight points from the safety of 17th position, have a slight doubt over the availability of Kieran Gibbs but are otherwise in excellent shape.

Head coach Sam Allardyce has plenty of options for change, with Robert Snodgrass, Jake Livermore, Karlan Grant and Hal Robson-Kanu all fit and available.

However, the experienced manager is expected to keep faith with the same XI that started last weekend's goalless draw with Newcastle United at the Hawthorns.

Darnell Furlong has recently been preferred to Lee Peltier and that should remain the case on Saturday, while Matt Phillips is likely to again be given the nod on the left of midfield.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Okay Yokuslu and Conor Gallagher will be the three in the middle, with Mbaye Diagne again operating at the tip of the attack.

Allardyce does have a decision to make in the middle of his defence, with Semi Ajayi battling to return to the side; Dara O'Shea has started the last three Premier League matches, though, and should again get the nod.

West Brom possible starting lineup: Johnstone; Furlong, O'Shea, Bartley, Townsend; Pereira, Maitland-Niles, Yokuslu, Gallagher, Phillips; Diagne
