West Bromwich Albion's promotion push appears to be gathering momentum once again as the season enters its closing stages. 

Darren Moore's side have won four of their last six matches to ensure that they are still well in contention of winning an immediate promotion back to the Premier League.

They currently sit in fourth place with 33 matches played and just one point behind Sheffield United who occupy second place and will be hopeful of overtaking Chris Wilder's side when the pair clash at the Hawthorns this weekend.

It is set to be one of the biggest matches of the season in the promotion race and the likes of Leeds and Norwich will no doubt be keeping an eye on the action too.

The Baggies won a late three points on Tuesday night when Jake Livermore scored a 94th-minute winner in a 3-2 win at Loftus Road.

Moore now has a decision to make regarding his line-up from that night, but here is the team we think he should put out...

[snack_break title="Goalkeeper: Sam Johnstone"]

The Manchester United loanee has been impressive without being spectacular.

Which is no bad thing. He has made very few errors and has remained solid all season and should of course start against the Blades.

[snack_break title="Right-back: Mason Holgate"]

Holgate has proven to be a very shrewd January signing.

He has given them a real presence down the right-hand side, having not had a fit right-back for the first-half of the season and it would be mad for him not to start tomorrow.

[snack_break title="Centre-back: Ahmed Hegazi"]

There have been few centre-backs in the Championship better than Hegazi this season.

He has stepped down impressively, not moaning for a second about no longer being a Premier League centre-back, and will surely be a contender for the club's player of the season award.

[snack_break title="Centre-back: Craig Dawson"]

Dawson too has grown into the season.

After a lot of summer speculation and even a transfer request, he has buckled down and formed a solid partnership with Hegazi.

[snack_break title="Left-back: Kieran Gibbs"]

Gibbs has been a consistently impressive performer down the left.

Solid in defence and creative in attack, he must surely be one of Darren Moore's favourite players and should be on the team sheet tomorrow.

[snack_break title="Right-wing: Josh Murphy"]

Another shrewd winter signing.

Many Championship rivals will have been looking on as Murphy arrived at the Hawthorns with jealousy and the Newcastle man has proven his quality already.

[snack_break title="Central-midfield: Jake Livermore"]

Livermore has been excellent all season in the Baggies' midfield.

An enforcer with a decent dash of creativity it is no surprise that Moore has frequently made him his captain and expect it to remain the same.

[snack_break title="Central-midfield: Gareth Barry"]

Who should partner Livermore will be a conundrum for Moore.

Rekeem Harper has played very well in recent weeks but against a high intensity team like Sheffield United, Moore should opt for the safer option.

[snack_break title="Left-wing: Matt Phillips"]

What a boost it is having this man back.

He will most likely have to play out of position but he can still do plenty of damage and surely must be included by Moore right from the start.

[snack_break title="Striker: Dwight Gayle"]

Back and available after disgracing himself against Forest, Gayle should go straight back into the team.

West Brom did well against Villa and QPR without him, but he remains one of the division's best players and the Baggies are far better off with him.

[snack_break title="Striker: Jay Rodriguez"]

Jay Rod has handled this season impressively considering the speculation that has surrounded him.

He has not had a dry spell all season, keeping a regular flow of goals coming and is a near certainty to start for Moore on Saturday.
