West Brom predicted line-up v QPR as Tony Mowbray faces midfield call

West Brom return to home soil against QPR on Saturday - looking to back up their point on the road at leaders Leeds last week.

Albion will be aiming to make it back to back home wins as well as stretch their unbeaten run to four games - as Tony Mowbray's side search for momentum heading into the final ten games of the season.

Last week at Leeds, Mowbray shifted his midfield around with Tom Fellows, who has been struggling for form in recent weeks, missing out.

He brought in John Swift, a surprising call for some, but Swift put in a decent display at Elland Road, setting up Darnell Furlong for Albion's goal.

The inclusion of Swift saw January signing Isaac Price move to a right sided position, and he impressed yet again despite having not played there for Albion since his move from Standard Liege.

The question this week is whether Mowbray opts for the same side that did so well up at Elland Road, or whether he brings Fellows back into the side.

In recent weeks, Mowbray has talked about consistency and that can come with keeping a settled side, but at the same time the Baggies boss has also explained how he likes to pick different sides for different opposition.

So it could well be the case that he brings Fellows back in, and if that happens it is either Swift or Price who will miss out. However, for me, as Albion search for consistency, it is likely he sticks with the same side.

That looks to be the only big call that could arise on Saturday, with Albion expected to be otherwise unchanged.
