West Brom v Leeds United team news: Whites unchanged but Baggies dealt late blow in warm up

Captain Liam Cooper is again missing with an abdominal strain picked up in the 6-2 loss at Manchester United meaning Pascal Struijk again starts in the Whites defence with Diego Llorente and Robin Koch also out injured.

West Brom boss Sam Allardyce had also planed on naming an unchanged side but the Baggies boss was forced to make a late alternation after Kieran Gibbs picked up a thigh injury in the warm up.

Lee Peltier comes into the line up instead.

West Brom: Johnstone, Furlong, Ajayi, O'Shea, Peltier, Gallagher, Sawyers, Robinson, Phillips, Diangana, Grant. Subs: Button, Kipre, Ivanovic, Harper, Krovinovic, Grosicki, Pereira, Austin.

Leeds United: Meslier, Dallas, Ayling, Struijk, Alioski, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha, Harrison, Rodrigo, Bamford. Subs: Casilla, Jenkins, Casey, Davis, Shackleton, Costa, Roberts, Hernandez, Poveda.
