West Brom team news: Right-back handed debut at Derby

The Baggies are back on the road having made the short trip north to Pride Park.

James Morrison has handed Brayann Pereira his Albion debut in Wednesday’s Championship clash with Derby.

The deadline day signing from NEC Nijmegen has replaced Nolan Galves in the line-up at right-back.

Morrison has made two further changes from the team which started Saturday’s 1-0 win over Watford.

Nat Phillips returns to defence in place of Chris Mepham, while Jayson Molumby is in midfield with Rabby Nzingoula dropping to the bench.

There is also a place on the bench for young keeper Ben Cisse, with Matt Ingram missing the match following the birth of his son.

Albion have arrived at Pride Park aiming to continue their impressive start to the season.

Morrison’s men have won three of their first five matches and can strengthen their position at the top end of the table with another victory.
