‘Loving the line up’ – These West Brom fans react as Bilic makes changes for cup tie

West Brom take on Millwall for the second time in the space of a few days tonight in the League Cup.

A late equaliser from Matt Smith rescued a point for the Lions in the league game and Baggies boss Slaven Bilic has decided to make several changes for the cup clash.

That’s not surprising given promotion is the clear priority but the XI picked is still very strong, highlighting the depth at the club.

Most notably, there are debuts for summer signings Darnell Furlong, Grady Diangana and Charlie Austin, whilst young defender Dara O’Shea is also handed his first start after impressing in pre-season.

Another face Albion fans will hope to see is Matheus Pereira, with the deadline day arrival from Sporting Lisbon only on the bench from the beginning.

Overall though, the supporters were delighted by the selection and here’s how they reacted to the XI on Twitter…

MASSIVE W

I tell you what, that's a bostin line-up that and could easily make a case to be a first XI in the league games #WBA

Would've liked Pereira starting too & gave Edwards a rest
