THE PREDICTION
West Brom surprised everyone this past Sunday as they managed to hold reigning Premier League champions Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield. It was a result many will argue they deserved after a dogged defensive performance, including a second half in which it could be claimed that the Baggies were the better side. New manager Sam Allardyce has clearly made a positive impact on the squad and they’ll need to continue showing that defensive solidarity here against ultra-attacking Leeds. Marcelo Bielsa’s men put their defensive injury crisis behind them to edge a hard-fought 1-0 win over Burnley last time out. However, you feel that such a lack of depth in central defensive could well be exploited by a Sam Allardyce managed side, with the hosts certain to target a makeshift central defensive unit. If West Brom can maintain the high standard of performance that they set at Anfield, then it could well prove enough to defeat the Whites and give Allardyce his first win as Albion manager.
