James Morrison makes West Brom change as Albion seek point for survival against Ipswich
Albion know they need a point to secure survival after Friday’s bombshell announcement.
West Brom have been dragged back onto the edge of a relegation battle - following the EFL’s two point penalty announcement on Friday.
After Tuesday’s win over Watford, the Baggies had secured survival as they moved eight points clear of the drop one with two games to play.
However, with the EFL points deduction for an alleged PSR breach hanging over them, they knew the fight for survival may not be over.
And so it proved on Friday, when the EFL handed down a two point deduction leaving them six points above the drop zone with two games remaining.
Albion would have to lose both of their remaining games and Oxford win their matches, while also overturning a six goal difference swing.
There is a slim chance it will happen - but they still need a point or Oxford to drop points against Sheffield Wednesday to officially survive.
James Morrison has named his side to take on Ipswich - making just the one change from the midweek clash with Watford.
Daryl Dike stays in the side and will be partnered by Aune Heggebo, who has been recalled in place of Josh Maja.
Albion: O’Leary, Imray, Campbell, Phillips, Styles, Molumby, Diakite, Mowatt, Price, Heggebo, Dike
Substitutes: Griffiths, Taylor, Gilchrist, Bany, Jimoh-Aloba, Sule, Bostock, Grant, Maja
