Carlos Corberan may be tempted to select the same starting line-up that were so impressive in last weekend's opening-day victory at QPR.

Albion were consistent across the board at Loftus Road last weekend despite falling behind in the early stages.

It is difficult to change a winning team and Corberan has that conundrum when selecting his side the visit of last season's beaten play-off finalists Leeds.

The head coach is set to be boosted by the return to availability of Jed Wallace and Grady Diangana, though they are only expected to be ready for the bench.

Albion reporter Lewis Cox gives his line-up for The Hawthorns opener on Saturday lunchtime.

Albion (4-2-3-1):

Alex Palmer

Darnell Furlong

Semi Ajayi

Kyle Bartley

Torbjorn Heggem

Jayson Molumby

Alex Mowatt

Tom Fellows

John Swift

Karlan Grant

Josh Maja

Subs: Wildsmith, McNair, Frabotta, Diakite, Wallace, Diangana, Dobbin, Cole, Faal.
