West Bromwich Albion

Jay Rodriguez has scored 8 goals in all competitions and will be eager to add to his tally here.
Huddersfield Town
The Terriers had slipped into the relegation zone in the Premier League before their 4-1 thumping of Bournemouth last time out and they are currently 17th in the standings, with 27 points to their name. David Wagner’s men have only once in the Premier League in 2018 and following their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, Premier League safety is now the priority. Goals have seemingly been hard to come by all season for Huddersfield with Steve Mounie the club’s leading goal scorer with 7 goals this term.
