West Brom head into the final game of the season with a play-off spot yet to be confirmed amid their recent dip in form. West Brom have sat 5th in the Championship table for the majority of the season but a late blip as them 6th and in danger of dropping out of the play-off spots on the final day.

The Baggies are two points ahead of Hull City in 7th and their better goal difference means a draw will likely be enough to confirm a top six place. However, three defeats on the trot while the Tigers have found form means Carlos Corberan's side will end the regular season with some unexpected nerves.

Among those who must be considered for a start against the Lilywhites is West Brom livewire Tom Fellows.

Back in the XI Fellows was often used off the bench in the first half of the season but a fantastic start to 2024 saw the young winger earn a place in Corberan's starting XI. He's offered a dangerous presence down the right and has chipped in with five goals and four assists overall.

However, for the past two games, Fellows has dropped to the West Brom bench.

He's a lively and direct threat on the wing and unlike plenty of other young players at this level, he's already proven he's got an end product too.

Reintroducing him to the starting lineup could give that extra injection of pace and intensity that the Baggies need to get over the line in the play-off fight.

Fellows could cause havoc for a Preston side with nothing to play for and amid their recent struggles, Corberan might be wise to change things up a bit by bringing him in.

The more experienced Phillips could be preferred in a game with a lot at stake while Jed Wallace and Diangana are options out wide. Fellows' fearlessness could be just what West Brom need though amid these late season jitters.
