Two of the leading promotion contenders meet at The Hawthorns tomorrow as West Brom host Derby County in what should be an entertaining clash.

The Baggies will be desperate to get back to winning ways after a disappointing defeat to Wigan last time out.

Darren Moore's men were surprisingly poor against the Latics. A Josh Windass goal secured the points for the hosts, with Albion's forward players unusually quiet in a toothless display.

Despite that, their attack has been the most prolific in the Championship, so they will know they have the firepower to beat the Rams - particularly at home.

Whilst Moore will be concerned at the performance against Wigan, he surely won't overreact and will continue to give the majority of his players a chance.

However, he will make changes, with one enforced as Jake Livermore is suspended.

Here we look at the XI we expect Moore to start with...

The former Manchester United man is one of the best in the division when on form and will continue in goal.

Moore will hope the big centre-back is fit after going off against Wigan. If available, he is a solid, reliable option in this league.

The Egyptian international hasn't been at his best this season but he will continue in what has been a settled back three.

Another who could improve, but Bartley has done okay on the whole and will start in a back three.

Everyone connected with Albion will be desperate to see Phillips back.

Tyrone Mears has been ahead of him after Phillips' injury and quite simply, the 35-year-old does not offer anywhere near as much as the former Blackpool winger.

The experienced midfielder will replace Livermore and has done well when given an opportunity in recent games.

Livermore's suspension is probably going to see Brunt stay in the team.

It won't be a popular decision, with Sam Field pushing for a chance but in such a big game we think Moore will go with the senior figure, even if it isn't the right call.

An easy decision for Moore, Gibbs is a top player and suits the wing-back role that Albion play with.

Despite a quiet game on Saturday, Barnes has been a standout player for the Baggies this season and is a key creative option in the side.

Rodriguez is without a goal in three and his place may be under threat with Bakary Sako getting close to full fitness.

However, the former Southampton man should get the nod to continue up front and will hope to rediscover his early season form.

Another who struggled last time out and was surprisingly subbed. Yet, Gayle is the main man up top for Albion and one of the first names on the teamsheet.
