West Bromwich Albion have lost six of their last eight matches.

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has promised in the Express and Star that he will give both Jonathan Leko and Sam Field game time before the end of the season.

West Brom’s form has dipped in recent weeks, after the Midlands side reached the 40 point mark very early on in the season.

The Baggies are now fighting to stay in the top half, after previously looking fairly safe in eighth position.

And Pulis has suggested that he will try and get the spark back in West Brom’s play by turning to the youngsters.

“With Leko coming on, Sam Field will get an opportunity in the next four games. We will give the kids a chance,” Pulis confirmed.

Both Leko and Field have been given a handful of first-team chances this season, but they have largely been used as substitutes.

The pair are considered to be the two brightest talents currently breaking through at the Hawthorns.

West Brom’s most recent defeat came in their last match against Leicester City.

Pulis’ side are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor.
