Saturday evening presents the perfect opportunity for West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United to clinch a win for different reasons, as the duo prepare to do battle at the Hawthorns in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

The Baggies have dropped out of the play-off places and are winless in their last four league games - a disappointing 1-0 defeat to the division's strugglers Hull City last weekend condemned Darren Moore's men to their third defeat in that time.

The Whites have bounced back from a recent slump and sit at the top of the Championship table after an impressive 2-1 win away at Wigan Athletic last weekend - Marcelo Bielsa's side are now unbeaten in their last three league games.

It's shaping up to be a cracker in the West Midlands, with two promotion rivals looking to make a statement in the race to secure a place in next season's Premier League.

Here, we take a look at the best West Brom and Leeds combined XI from the players that will be on show tomorrow...

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is doing a good job at Leeds, but Johnstone is the better goalkeeper currently.

Dawson was attracting a lot of interest in the summer, but he's still with Albion.

He's not at his best, but his natural quality sees him selected in this XI.

Jansson has been a stalwart in Leeds' defence over the last few years and it's only right that the Swedish international features in the team.

Cooper is Leeds' captain and has really improved under Bielsa.

He edges out Kyle Bartley.

Moving to right wing-back, Phillips features.

It's a new position for Phillips, but with Luke Ayling injured, he gets an easy selection.

Klich has been superb in midfield for Leeds this season, scoring five goals.

Kalvin Phillips could've easily featured, as could Jake Livermore, but Klich's goals earn him selection.

Douglas offers incredible balance on the left for Leeds, proving his importance at Wigan last week.

Kieran Gibbs is an outstanding player, but Douglas' current form gets him in.

Barnes has been superb in an attacking midfield role this season, scoring goals and providing assists.

Hernandez has been superb on the right for Leeds this season with four goals and four assists.

Gayle has eight goals to his name this season, the same as his teammate, Jay Rodriguez.

However, the Newcastle loanee gets the nod in this side, as he's much more important to Albion.

Roofe has been the focal point of attack for Leeds this season, but is capable of playing wide.

He moves there so Gayle can feature.
