Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how West Bromwich Albion could line up for Wednesday's Premier League meeting with West Ham United.

Sam Allardyce must decide whether to reward the rarely-used Hal Robson-Kanu or recall Mbaye Diagne to lead the line when his West Bromwich Albion side welcome West Ham United to The Hawthorns on Wednesday night.

Robson-Kanu was handed his first Premier League start since December 2017 against Liverpool last time out, and seized the opportunity with both hands by opening the scoring early on.

However, the 31-year-old's lack of game time in recent months could count against him heading into a second match just three days later, meaning that Diagne could be brought back in.

There is a similar decision to make on the left side of midfield, where Grady Diangana made his first start since January against Liverpool.

The former West Ham youngster may also find that starting two games in quick succession is a big ask for his fitness levels at this time, though, so Ainsley Maitland-Niles could come back in.

Allardyce is blessed with a relatively clean bill of health, although Branislav Ivanovic and former West Ham man Robert Snodgrass will not feature again this season.

Speculation also continues to rage over the futures of Sam Johnstone, Matheus Pereira and Conor Gallagher, all of whom could play their final home games for the Baggies in this one.

West Bromwich Albion possible starting lineup: Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Townsend; Phillips, Gallagher, Yokuslu, Maitland-Niles; Pereira; Diagne
