West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Plymouth - Championship 2024/2025 Statistical Preview

Mikey Johnston could replace Karlan Grant on the left here in what would be Carlos Corberan's only change.
Grady Diangana returned to the squad for the game against Portsmouth, meaning striker Daryl Dike is the home side's only injury concern.

Rami Al Hajj might make his full league debut in what will likely be an elsewhere unchanged Plymouth starting XI.
Freddie Issaka should return to the matchday squad after serving the final instalment of a three-match ban.

Prediction

West Brom opened the scoring inside the first minute against Portsmouth last time out and exerted total control until the final whistle, cruising to a 3-0 win at Fratton Park.
That result moved Carlos Corberan's side clear at the top of the table with four wins and a draw in their first five league outings.
Wayne Rooney's long wait for a first league win as Plymouth manager arrived in unexpected circumstances last weekend as a stoppage time Joe Edwards goal sealed a 3-2 win against a Sunderland side that won each of their first four games.
The Pilgrims are still searching for their first away win of the season, although that is unlikely to come at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
