com and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565West Brom are back in Championship action this weekendTony Mowbray was appointed by West Brom earlier this winter.

He was chosen by the club's hierarchy as their replacement for Carlos Corberan, who left for Valencia.

The Baggies are currently sat in 6th place in the Championship table and they are inside the play-offs along with Burnley, Sunderland and Coventry City as they eye promotion to the Premier League.

They drew 1-1 away at Leeds United at Elland Road last time out with Darnell Furlong on the scoresheet.

West Brom are back in action this weekend at home to QPR as they look to keep their momentum going.

Their upcoming opponents lost 2-1 against Sheffield United in their last outing.

West Brom predicted XIGoalkeeper Joe Wildsmith has made the step up from the bench following Alex Palmer's January exit to Ipswich Town in the Premier League and should start between the sticks.

He joined from Derby County last summer.

Darnell Furlong, 29, has been ever-present for West Brom again in this campaign and is poised to get the nod again at right-back.

On the other flank of defence, Callum Styles has enjoyed plenty of game time this term and has impressed.

Kyle Bartley injects experience into Mowbray's side and has been on the books of his current club since joining them in 2018.

Torbjorn Heggem, who is a Norway international, will feature again and arrived at The Hawthorns last year as a bit of an unknown quantity.

Jayson Molumby scored a dramatic late winner for the Baggies last month as they beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 and is getting plenty of minutes under Mowbray.

Elsewhere, Alex Mowatt will be looking to cause QPR some issues with his left foot.

Tom Fellows' pace and power down the right flank is an effective weapon for West Brom and he might come into the team again, with John Swift dropping out.

Meanwhile, Mikey Johnston will also be eager to get more goals to his tally.

Isaac Price has played six matches since his transfer earlier this winter from Standard Liege and has looked bright.

Up front, eyebrows were raised when Adam Armstrong made the switch to the Baggies from Southampton.

He scored the winner in the play-off final last year for the Saints against LeedsFull predicted XI: Wildsmith; Furlong, Bartley, Heggem, Styles; Molumby, Mowatt; Fellows, Price, Johnston; ArmstrongWhat has been said?Speaking after West Brom's point at Leeds, Mowbray said: "I don't want to get too carried away.

It was a game we spoke about all week about showing our credentials.

This is West Bromwich Albion, we should be able to come to Leeds United and be able to more than compete and try and win.

"They're having a great season and they're a very, very well-coached team, but I thought we grew into the game after being a bit too tentative in the first 20 minutes or so.

I thought we were good in the second part of the first half and we found the spaces that we were looking for.

We played forward and got around their box a lot.

"We had a great chance to score through John Swift before they got their goal, but as they game went on, I felt as though we threw enough punches to threaten their goal.

I thought we were really competitive, and so we should be.
