Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Leeds United
Sparkles will be flying when West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United go head to head at the Hawthorns in a highly-anticipated Championship derby. The Baggies defeated ten-man Norwich City on Boxing Day, with Brandon Thomas-Asante scoring the only goal of the match and they now aim to finish 2023 in style. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Carlos Corberan is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Potters on Tuesday.
The Whites, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Preston in the last festive fixture, with the team dropping to fourth place in the standings. Leeds are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but seeing that first-choice goalkeeper Illan Meslier misses out through suspension, we are tempted to put our money on the underdogs. Both Jamie Shackleton and Stuart Dallas are sidelined with injuries.
