Watford v West Brom: Lewis Cox's predicted line-up

Wednesday against Coventry City was already a difficult challenge given the visitors came reinvigorated under Frank Lampard before you factor the hosts' squad being tested by a Sunday - Wednesday schedule.

Kyle Bartley had to drop out and was only deemed fit enough for the final 20 minutes. He has ben a linchpin and decisive in the side every time Corberan has used him but given the return from injury and his advancing years, being left out was understandable.

Mason Holgate did well in his place for Albion.

The hope is handing Bartley most of the midweek off he should be OK physically to come in against Watford on Sunday, barring any hiccups. If he is available he is back in my predicted side.

The other head-scratcher comes further forward. Josh Maja's race was run by half-time the other night, the striker was exhausted and it painted the picture of an overreliance on the top scorer this season.

John Swift did well from the bench, which is encouraging for Corberan and the Baggies as we have seen precious little from the attacking midfielder in recent weeks.

Corberan delivered an extra fitness concern in his press conference on Friday afternoon as he confirmed in-form man of the moment Karlan Grant is a doubt with fatigue.

Grant was not ruled out with tiredness in his hamstrings but there is a doubt next to his name. Corberan said Maja is in contention for a start after only playing 45 minutes the other night,

It was important to see Swift and Jed Wallace looking sharp from the bench the other night. Albion have lacked that desperately this season, it has been a big floor in the series of draws.
