West Brom boss Carlos Corberan has made two changes - one enforced - for the visit of Plymouth Argyle today. Corberan has reintroduced Nathaniel Chalobah into the midfield, for the first time since the opening day of the season in the Championship when the Baggies were turned over by Blackburn Rovers.

Chalobah gets the nod ahead of Okay Yokuslu, who drops to the bench. He starts in midfield alongside Alex Mowatt, while further afield Brandon Thomas-Asante leads the line having come into the side for the injured John Swift. Swift limped off at Blues last time and will miss six weeks.

On the bench, Akeel Higgins - an 18-year-old forward who has been among a number of academy products to train with the first team this international break - earns a spot. Such is Albion's injury situation as regards to attacking personnel, Corberan has had to draft in one of the youngsters to supplement the senior group.

For Plymouth, former Albion kid Finn Azaz starts in midfield. Villa loanee Kaine Kesler-Hayden starts too, while Wolves loanee Luke Cundle is on the bench.

West Brom starting XI: Palmer; Furlong, Kipre, Bartley, Pieters, Phillips; Chalobah, Mowatt, Wallace, Diangana; Thomas-Asante

Substitutes: Griffiths, Townsend, Pipa, Taylor, Ajayi, Yokuslu, Molumby, Fellows, Higgins
