West Bromwich Albion face West Ham United hoping to get back to winning ways after losing their previous Premier League fixture.

Tony Pulis, Manager of West Bromwich Albion looks on prior to the Premier League match between Burnley and West Bromwich Albion at Turf Moor on August 19, 2017 in Burnley, England.

West Brom go into their clash with West Ham this weekend looking to get back to winning ways after suffering their first defeat of the season when they faced Brighton last weekend.

The Baggies lost 3-1 against the Seagulls, and that may prompt Tony Pulis to deploy a slightly different system at home to Slaven Bilic’s men on Saturday.

As well as perhaps changing to a 4-2-3-1 formation, it may not be out of the question to see Pulis make two changes for the game against the Hammers.

One of the changes quite a few West Brom fans are probably hoping for involves £12 million (via Daily Mail) signing Salomon Rondon – who has not enjoyed the best start to the season.

Kieran Gibbs of West Brom gesticulates during the Premier League match between Brighton and Hove Albion and West Bromwich Albion at Amex Stadium on September 9, 2017 in Brighton, England.

The Venezuelan is yet to open his account for the campaign and looked poor against Brighton, so Jay Rodriguez gets the nod to start up front in the predicted lineup, with the former Southampton man looking lively since his summer switch, while James McClean replaces Rodriguez on the wing.

Meanwhile, the other change is at left-back with another summer signing Kieran Gibbs replacing Allan Nyom to make his first start since arriving from Arsenal during the window.

Here is the team HITC Sport predict will start for West Brom at the weekend…
