West Brom vs Southampton team news

Southampton got their third Premier League win of 2021 against Burnley last weekend and take on a confident West Bromwich Albion side who are fresh off their stunning victory over Chelsea.

Saints may have to make the Midlands trip without a key player. Kyle Walker-Peters reportedly has an injury, though he has not been ruled out of being available for this evening’s game.

Long-term absentees Oriol Romeu, Michael Obafemi and Will Smallbone remain out with their respective injuries.

West Brom manager Sam Allardyce could also be missing a defender.

Branislav Ivanovic faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury he picked up against former club Chelsea last weekend.

However, they could welcome Dara O’Shea back into the matchday squad against Southampton after overcoming an ankle knock.
