West Bromwich Albion were left frustrated on Monday evening as their winning run came to an end against Brentford, who snatched a point from Darren Moore’s men at the Hawthorns.

There’s a quick opportunity for a response now, with the Baggies hosting Aston Villa on Friday evening in a mouth-watering clash.

After a tricky October and difficult start to November, Moore has found a system that suits his players and he’s been able to name an unchanged line-up in four consecutive fixtures.

However, this weekend, against a rampant Villa side, who have 17 goals in their last five fixtures, changes could be needed to freshen West Brom up.

Midfield is an area where Villa are extremely strong, whilst Hal Robson-Kanu is a major doubt for the Baggies in attack.

With that in mind, we take a look at the starting XI we expect Moore to go with against Aston Villa…

Johnstone will continue in goal and face his former club.

The youngster has been Moore’s choice on the right of defence in recent weeks, with Adarabioyo doing well.

Dawson’s experience will be important against Villa’s exciting attack.

Hegazi has been a regular in defence, which will continue this Friday.

Gibbs is an outstanding option to have at left-back, bringing an attacking threat and plenty of defensive ability.

Phillips has proved to be extremely versatile for Moore this season, but seems to be thriving in this central role.

Livermore is very important to this side with the work he does in midfield. He needs a big 90 minutes against Villa.

James Morrison has looked tired after a run in the team and fresh legs are needed against Aston Villa.

Brunt should come into the side for the 32-year-old.

Barnes has more licence that Phillips in this system, but between the two they can create a 4-4-2.

However, to start with, Barnes will have the freedom to get forwards.

It’s time for Gayle to come back into the side after a spell on the bench.

Moore’s side are missing his ability to score goals from nothing.

To accommodate Gayle through the middle, Rodriguez could be pushed out to the left.

It’s a role he’s occupied earlier in his career and it could suit the side.
