BBC NEWS; New role for £500k signing as Carlos Corberan hands defender first start – West Brom predicted XI vs Cardiff.
Carlos Corberan might make two changes to West Bromwich Albion’s starting lineup against Cardiff City at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
West Brom are winless in five Championship games, but they remain in the top four following Wednesday’s 0-0 draw against Blackburn Rovers.
Despite having only two losses this season, Carlos Corberan’s team has a high rate of draws. Goalscoring has also become an issue, with only one goal scored in four games throughout October.
Albion have been rather strong defensively, although Corberan may be tempted to change things up at full-back to create some extra width for assaults.
With Kyle Bartley out due to injury, Torbjorn Heggem might be moved to his preferred center-half position. That may mean a debut for Gianluca Frabotta, a more dynamic left-back who could cause issues on the overlap.
However, tremendous respect must be offered to Cardiff City, who have won their past two games handily, defeating Plymouth Argyle 5-0 and Portsmouth 2-0. Interim manager Omer Riza has done an excellent job of lifting Cardiff out of the relegation zone, and the Welsh side might pose a threat this weekend.
West Brom expected XI vs Cardiff.
