'Attacking': Jonny Drury's West Brom predicted line-up for Oxford United test

It certainly hasn't been the case in recent years, that is for sure.

But Tony Mowbray does have that on his side as Albion welcome Oxford United tomorrow.

The Baggies boss has Jed Wallace and long term absentee Josh Maja out - but everyone is available aside from Kyle Bartley who is serving the third game of a three game suspension.

That gives him options in most departments - and his selection will again no doubt by mixed up from the draw at Millwall last time out.

At the back, as it has done for much of the campaign the side will pick itself with Semi Ajayi returning and impressing last week.

In midfield and at the top end of the field, I anticipate we will see changes.

Isaac Price was left out last week, but for me he has to start in this one. He has impressed on home turf so far, and has the ability to pick locks and open up what will be a tight Oxford backline.

The wingers were left out last week, but they will no doubt come back in for this one.

And then up top is the other question. Mowbray has hinted this week he may have to look at a front two at some point, with the options he has at his disposal.

For this, there is a strong argument he will go with that. Will Lankshear impressed last week and off the bench against Blackburn, and if the wingers play then it will be Adam Armstrong down the middle rather than out to the right.
