West Bromwich Albion host Watford in the Premier League this weekend.
West Brom host Watford at The Hawthorns this weekend looking to bounce back from their frustrating defeat away at Arsenal on Monday night.
Tony Pulis’ men lost 2-0 against the Gunners, but the game could have perhaps been so different had the Baggies been awarded a penalty at 0-0 that they thoroughly deserved as Jay Rodriguez was brought down inside the box.

Rodriguez perhaps did himself no favours by getting up immediately and having a shot on goal, but supporters and pundits alike have been scratching their heads since, trying to work out why the Baggies were not awarded a spot-kick.
Because of the spirited display, Pulis may well not make drastic changes for the game against the Hornets, with HITC Sport expecting just two.
Hal Robson-Kanu has struggled since returning from suspension, so he may perhaps drop out of the team, with James McClean coming into the side to play in the three just behind Rodriguez, who caused Arsenal enough problems to justfiy keeping his place leading the line.
Meanwhile, Allan Nyom was the man who gave away the penalty that led to Arsenal’s second goal, so perhaps Pulis may decide to revert to a back four with Craig Dawson moving to the right, Ahmed Hegazi keeping his spot alongside Jonny Evans in the middle and Nyom dropping out.
