Plymouth v West Brom: Lewis Cox's predicted line-up with repeat decision

It took a bit of time for the Baggies to get going at home to lowly Portsmouth last week - but once they did, albeit with a helping hand, they motored on.

Pompey were dismantled as Albion attacked at will and the test at rock-bottom Plymouth is pretty similar, exert dominance and deliver on expectation.

It may not be a foregone conclusion, Plymouth are a better home team, but with the ethos Mowbray wants to create in his Baggies side it should be expected the visitors will monopolise possession and create the lion's share of chances.

For that reason I have gone with an unchanged line-up for the clash at Home Park.

The head coach has a couple of decisions to ponder. Integral centre-back Kyle Bartley is back in contention but only expected to take a place on the bench.

Other plausible changes could be in the positions that caused raised eyebrows last weekend.

Jed Wallace started up front, with Grady Diangana, and John Swift was a central midfielder, albeit one tasked to get forward. Both Wallace and Swift have had it tough this term but both played well and delivered their first goals of the season.

While Albion still hunt for a centre-forward recruit in the remainder of the transfer window, I think the smart money is on a repeat selection in attack. Karlan Grant will have to bide his time for a return to the side.

Midfield has several options. Jayson Molumby is back available following illness after missing out entirely last week. Ousmane Diakite gave a superb second-half display after his half-time introduction and debutant Isaac Price caught the eye with a bright cameo on his bow.

Despite those, I have elected on an unchanged line-up. It will be interesting to see whether Mowbray does likewise.
