West Bromwich Albion return to league action later this evening with a trip to Wales to face Cardiff City as they look to get their title push back on track.

The Baggies defeated Premier League opposition, West Ham, at the weekend to soar into the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they will face the winner of Newcastle United and Oxford United.

However, in between their recent success, league form has dipped heavily – it’s just one victory in eight matches, including a run of six games without a win.

Although, they have only lost twice during that run and still hold the lead at the Championship’s summit.

Slaven Bilic tinkered his team for the cup competition once again, and some players will have surely left him with plenty to ponder, so how will Albion line up tonight?

We think there could be as many as seven changes at the Cardiff City Stadium as the Croatian has to deal with suspensions and injuries.

Defensively, the Baggies will look quite the same, startig with first-choice goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who is back between the sticks.

Darnell Furlong and Kyle Bartley also come back into the fold whilst Dara O’Shea’s impressive showing against the Hammers hands him a rare league start.

He recorded the highest rating of any player on WhoScored on Saturday afternoon. Conor Townsend also keeps his place.

Ahmed Hegazi drops to the bench with Semi Ajayi serving a one-match suspension.

The engine room of Jake Livermore and Romaine Sawyers returns with Matty Phillips also keeping his spot on the right-hand side of midfield.

As does Croatian playmaker Filip Krovinovic as he showed exactly why he could be the man to replace Matheus Pereira during his three-game suspension.

The 24-year-old recorded two key passes and had an 87% passing accuracy against the top-flight side, per SofaScore.

Kenneth Zohore is granted another chance to lead the line with Charlie Austin dropping to the bench whilst Grady Diangana’s injury opens up an opportunity at left-wing for someone with Hal Robson-Kanu being preferred to Kyle Edwards.
