Christmas headaches and a lack of depth: Jonny Drury's predicted West Brom line-up v Bristol City
Ryan Mason has certainly got some festive headaches - as Albion head into their Boxing Day clash with Bristol City without key players.
Albion's festive schedule sees them now face back to back home games against Bristol City and QPR - before a New Years Day trip to Swansea City.
It is always a tough time with stretched squads and but with limited resources that have this week become even smaller, Mason and Albion are up against it.
The two big blows are Alfie Gilchrist, who is suspended and Krystian Bielik, who is sidelined for at least the Bristol City game through injury.
Elsewhere, the midfield issues is still causing headaches with Alex Mowatt and Jayson Molumby both carrying injuries.
In terms of the line-up, Albion look in decent shape but it is elsewhere in the squad where a lack of depth is highlighted this Christmas.
