​Slaven Bilic thoroughly enjoyed his return to West Ham, claiming the first scalp of the FA Cup fourth round as his West Brom side knocked out their Premier League counterparts on Saturday. Despite a late red card, the Baggies left London laughing as Conor Townsend's ninth-minute strike separated the two sides at the final whistle. Baggies boss Bilic admitted beating his former club, where he spent a little over two years in the hot seat, was satisfying. As quoted by ​BBC Sport, the Croat...

West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday preview: Baggies looking to keep two point gap at the top of the table intact

Top of the table West Brom host eighth place Sheffield Wednesday at the Hawthorns looking to maintain two point gap at the top.

The Baggies come into this game unbeaten in their last six, whilst Sheffield opponents haven’t won in their last three games. 

So with that in mind, this looks like a home banker, but as we know- football can throw up some unexpected surprises! 

Last Time Out 

Both sides were in Championship action before the International break on Saturday November 9, with West Brom picking up a vital 0-1 away win against Hull City thanks to a striker from midfielder Jake Livermore. 

The Owls drew 2-2 against a promotion chasing Swansea side, after the Sheffield side let a 2-1 lead slip deep into injury time due to a late Ben Wilmot goal from a corner.

Form

West Brom Albion form: WWDDWW

Sheffield Wednesday form: WDWDLD

Match Information 

 What day is this game?- Saturday November, 23.

What time is kick-off?- 15:00 (GMT) (3pm)

Where is this game being played? -The Hawthorns 

Is this game available to watch on TV? -No, but you can catch the highlights on Quest EFL show at 9pm this Saturday. 

Who is the referee for this match?- Tony Harrington 

Team News (Courtesy of @BrunaSportsJour on Twitter)

Baggies boss will have fewer players available for Saturday’s clash due to suspension.

Nathan Ferguson is one of them and will complete the last suspension out of a three-match ban.

Key midfield players, Romaine Sawyers and Jake Livermore will miss out on the action due to being suspended for one game for the accumulation of yellow cards.

Gary Barry and Kieran Gibbs whom have both been doubts after picking up an injury prior to international break, may be return to return this weekend.

It’s touch and go to whether star player Matheus Pereira will be available to start. However he has returned to training meaning that there is a good chance that he will play in this match.

However there is some good new for the Baggies- Semi Ajayi, Grady Diangana  and Ahmed Hegazi all returned from their respective International clubs fit and healthy and ready for selection.

Garry Monk has received some injury boost news that Julian Borner, Sam Hutchinson and Massimo Luongo are all back in contention after being side-lined through injury and illness.

Predicted line-ups 

West Brom: Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Gibbs, Barry, Krovinovic, Phillips, Pereira, Diangana, Robson-Kanu.

Sheffield Wednesday: Westwood, Iorfa, Borner, Lees, Palmer, Murphy, Luongo, Hutchinson, Bannan, Harris, Fletcher.

Pre-Match Quotes

West Brom’s head coach Slaven Bilic has been speaking in his pre-match press conference about the challenge of he expects from Gary Monk’s side on Saturday.

He said: “We are playing a good team tomorrow – a very good team. They are men; there are no boys in there. They are positive, they are on the front foot and they never stop running.

“This will be another difficult game and we will need our supporters to be with us after 75 minutes still.”

Gary Monk is using this game to see how far his side have come since he took- over earlier this season.

He said:  “Any away game is difficult, they are top of the league and it will be a good test for us and how far we’ve come. We have to look forward to it, if we’re at our best we can beat anyone”

Player on each side to watch out for

West Brom- Grady Diangana 

The 21-year-old joined Slaven’s side on loan at the start of the season from Slav’s former club  West Ham United. 

And what a revelation he has  been for the Baggies. 

In 14 Championship matches so far this season, the wide player has scored four goals and assisted four goals.

He is the second highest goalscorer at the club behind Matt Phillips.

His great form is the reason that there has been talk that West Ham are considering recalling him from his loan early in January to help the Hammers battle against their poor form at this current moment. 

But The Baggies boss will hope that those rumours aren’t true! 

Other players in the attacking sense to look out for from a West Brom perspective is Matt Phillips and Matheus Pereira.

In terms of defensively- Semi Ajayi has been a revelation since signing from Rotherham in the Summer. What a signing he has turned out to be. 

Sheffield Wednesday- Steven Fletcher

The Wednesday man is the top scorer at the club this season with five goals.

You feel like the 32-year-old will have to get on the score sheet tomorrow if there is any chance that Sheffield Wednesday can spring a surprise on The Baggies tomorrow. 

Head to Head, Betting Odds and Score prediction

These two sides met eachother 117 times in all competitions over the years, with the Owls having the better of the Baggies.

The Sheffield club have reigned victorious over West Brom on 53 occassions over the years. 

There have been 28 draws including last seasons 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns.- That game was also the last meeting between these two sides.

And the home side on Saturday have won in this fixture on 36 occasions. They will be favourites to make it 37 tomorrow. 

And the bookies also believe on the whole the West Brom will reign victorious tomorrow with a Baggies win being priced at 17/20 by Sky Bet. A draw tomorrow is being priced at 5/2 by Sky Bet. And a shock Sheffield Wednesday win is being priced at 29/10.

My Prediction:

West Brom 3-2 Sheffield Wednesday. I think we could be in for an entertaining game tomorrow.

West Ham United'da Bilic dönemi sona erdi

Slaven Bilic’s best quotes: Celebrating our favourite lines from the West Ham manager As teams splash the cash during the transfer window West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has had a fair bit to say on the matter.

[tipsoctopus]

"Hopefully" - Bilic provides major update on "outstanding" West Brom ace

Speaking after the match, West Brom boss Slaven Bilic provided an update on the injury suffered by Ahmed Hegazi.

What did he say?

In a game that the Baggies slipped to a 1-0 defeat at home to Wigan on Saturday afternoon, Hegazi was forced off just before the end of the first-half with what looked like a muscle problem.

And following the game, Bilic confirmed that there are concerns that the defender has suffered a hamstring injury, but that they are still hopeful it won’t be a serious one.

Watch West Bromwich Albion Videos With StreamFootball.tv Below

He said (as quoted by The Birmingham Mail): “Yes, it’s hamstring. It’s disappointing for him. He’s done really well, he worked so hard to get back in the team. Since he came back he was outstanding for us. That energy from the back. Unfortunately he done it. It’s too early to say how bad it is.

“We have to wait for the scan, but it’s definitely not a knock, it’s not cramp. It’s not a couple of days. Hopefully it’s not a big one. Hopefully he’ll be back soon, but we have to wait for the scan.”

Major blow

Since returning to the West Brom first-team fold, Hegazi has proven his worth as a valuable member of the first-team squad.

Before the clash against Wigan on Saturday, the Egpytian had started and completed the full 90 minutes in the Baggies’ previous two Championship games, with Bilic’s side keeping a clean sheet in both.

Life after football: Do you know what all of these former players did next?

As they chase down promotion to the Premier League for next season, any kind of significant injury at this stage is always going to be a blow. And having come in from out of the blue, losing Hegazi for potentially a few weeks is a disruption that Bilic could desperately have done without.

Meanwhile, West Brom’s summer priorities are already clear.

Owners of the London Stadium Won’t Change Colour Around the Pitch to Help Players

https://www.vionafrica.cf/owners-of-the-london-stadium-wont-change-colour-around-the-pitch-to-help-players/

Owners of the London Stadium Won’t Change Colour Around the Pitch to Help Players

West Ham have failed in their attempts to get a section of the London Stadium painted to help the players. The surrounding areas of the pitch are green, the same colour as the pitch and the Hammers were looking to change the colours to suit the colours of the club but have failed in their attempts.

Slaven Bilic claims that the players would benefit from the change because it allows them to distinguish the lanes of the pitch. The club was willing to float the £200,000 bill that would have been given for this to happen, however, the owners of the stadium have rejected the proposal.

GLYN KIRK/GettyImages

Bilic was giving his reasoning for the change in quotes from the Evening Standard saying, “Let me explain it like this. It is impossible to bring the crowd closer but we can improve things by changing the perspective. Imagine you are a player, you are running back to defend or you are joining the attack – you look up and it is not easy because everything is green ahead of you.”

Bilic has been persistent on the issue hoping that change would be forthcoming. He said, “We have done everything we can to receive permission to do this, especially our vice-chairman Karren Brady. I am mentioning it almost every time I meet her. I know Karren has tried very hard and talked to all of the parties involved but we can’t seem the get the necessary permission from the powers that be."

Dan Istitene/GettyImages

Bilic’s position as manager has come under increased threat this season. With the money that was spent over the summer, West Ham were expected to be at mid-table at the very least and maybe pushing for European places. However, they are currently languishing in 17th position after only picking up eight points from their opening nine games.

5 Premier League teams that need to make moves before transfer window closes

Most Premier League clubs have done the bulk of their transfer business already with the summer window set to close on Thursday, ensuring teams cannot buy or sell players again until January. However, many teams are still looking to put the finishing touches on their summer business.

Some teams more than others need to do much more than they have already done, be it to avoid relegation or solidify a title challenge. Here is a look at five Premier League teams that really need to make another move or two ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

5) Manchester City

Can it really be possible to need more reinforcements even after spending upwards of $250 million in transfer fees on new players? In the case of Manchester City, it can, with two rather significant positional holes yet to be filled despite the club’s best efforts.

City have spent lavishly on fullbacks during the window, but they have yet to add a new central defender, though not for lack of effort. Pursuits of players such as Virgin van Dijk and Leonardo Bonucci have fallen short, leaving a desperate City in search of a fourth center back in the final week of the window. They could get by with Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Otamendi, and John Stones if they had to, but Kompany’s lengthy injury history means this would be short-sighted. West Brom’s Jonny Evans appears to be the current target, and while the reported $38 million price tag would be excessive, City may have no other choice.

It’s also surprising that a team of this caliber would need another forward, but that appears to be the case. It’s fair to say that City’s title challenge was derailed last season due to an inability to finish clear-cut chances, and through three games this season, the same concerns are popping up. When Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus aren’t firing, City lack scoring punch from out wide, where Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling are both better known for their creative abilities, as are David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne. Alexis Sanchez would be perfect, but Arsenal will fight any sale. Though with the star forward down to the final year of his contract and Arsenal looking to be in dire straits, the Gunners may be left with no choice but to cash in.

4) Newcastle United

Newcastle are back up with essentially the same squad that got them promoted with relative ease last season. That’s all well and good until you remember that [i]that[/i] squad was the same one that was relegated in 2016. Newcastle need to add talent, there’s no doubt about that.

Manager Rafa Benitez knows it, too. Such is his frustration that he saw no problem with publicly calling out notoriously tight-fisted owner Mike Ashley about the lack of funds made available to him to sign new players. Newcastle have brought four in, including Jacob Murphy and Florian Lejeune, but neither is really an impact addition. It’s hard to see the Magpies bringing in the support they need this late in the window. It’s even harder to see Ashley loosening the purse strings. He may end up relegated again if he doesn’t start spending.

3) West Ham

There really is no excuse for what is happening to the Hammers. They find themselves at the bottom of the table after a 3-0 away drubbing to Newcastle, which really shouldn’t be happening. They have scored just twice in three matches while conceding 10 goals. This is a team that spent a pretty good about of money to bring in forward Marko Arnautovic and striker Javier Hernandez, plus England’s No. 1 goalkeeper Joe Hart arrived on loan. Ultimately, despite all this, they look even worse than they did last year, which was an underwhelming campaign in itself.

The result is that manager Slaven Bilic is already on the hot seat, and the malaise may not be fixable with just new additions. They need to try, though, particularly on the defensive side of things, where they’ve been the worst team in the league. A move for Portuguese defensive midfielder William Carvalho has been rumored, but does not look imminent. Frankly, West Ham are too good to be in a relegation battle. Bilic will take the fall if this continues, but the team needs a sturdier foundation to begin with.

2) Tottenham

A little over two weeks ago, Tottenham left back Danny Rose gave a rather remarkable set of quotes to British tabloid The Sun, chief among them that he is rather tired of the squad spending their money on “players you have to Google.” At the time, they were the only club in England’s top flight that had not signed any players all summer. They have since signed 21-year-old Colombian center back Davinson Sanchez, a player with lots of potential but unlikely to pass Rose’s Google test.

While it’s fair to say Rose chose to vent his frustrations in an unacceptable way, a lot of Spurs fans might have privately nodded their heads in agreement. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation for being on the miserly side, milking outgoing transfers for every penny before spending rather conservatively on incomings. That’s happening again this summer, with the club sanctioning the hefty sale of former first-choice right back Kyle Walker to Manchester City, buying Sanchez, and keeping the extra profit thus far.

Further worry arose when Spurs started the season with a loss and a draw at Wembley, with their temporary home still not agreeing with them. This is a team that has accumulated the most total points in the Premier League over the last two seasons, but they haven’t really done anything to strengthen this summer. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has said he expects at least three new signings, with French right back Serge Aurier rumored to be close and persistent links to Everton midfielder Ross Barkley still popping up. At least Spurs know they need reinforcements.

1) Arsenal

Oh dear. The Gunners are already in full-blown crisis mode after just one win in three games to open the new campaign. After a shaky performance in a comeback win at home against Leicester, they’ve lost at Stoke and were totally and completely eviscerated at Liverpool in a game that finished 4-0 but could have been even worse. Giving manager Arsene Wenger a new contract looks like an even worse decision now than it did when it happened.

French forward Andre Lacazette and Bosnian left back Sead Kolasinac have been Arsenal’s only two incomings, and it’s quite clearly not enough. Neither of them even started in the Liverpool mauling, which may well say more about Wenger’s team selection than their quality, but it’s still a damning indictment of something. Even worse is the fact that most of the rumors surrounding Arsenal’s transfer business as the window nears a close are about outgoings, not incomings. There is even a rumored Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City transfer still floating around the press to go along with reports that winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may be off to Chelsea. A lengthy summer pursuit of Monaco forward Thomas Lemar looks set to end in failure, and it’s not really clear where Arsenal go from here. A new manager and changes at the boardroom level are likely necessary, but neither is coming anytime soon.

Arsenal have to hold on to their best players and try to find a way to fill in the edges — a difficult task given both their start and the fact that they won’t be able to offer Champions League soccer for the first time in two decades.

Many West Brom fans deliver verdicts on potential exit amid Bilic omission & transfer report

West Bromwich Albion boss Slaven Bilic has said that Ahmed Hegazi was not included in the squad for Saturday’s clash with Brentford after a training-ground incident.

In quotes carried by The Express & Star, Bilic claimed that “something happened yesterday (Friday) on the training ground” for Hegazi not to be involved.

Meanwhile, WBA have reportedly rejected an offer from Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad for the Egypt international, who has only made three Championship appearances for the Baggies during the 2019/20 campaign.

Watch West Bromwich Albion Videos With StreamFootball.tv Below

And as expected, the club’s fans have been on social media expressing their views, with some expecting him to leave during the January transfer window.

Id imagine there is something in the busy up rumours on training ground with Hegazi seems as he wasn’t even in squad. Might be one to watch in Jan.

— Stuart Hunt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@huntywbafc) December 21, 2019

Apparently a bid from Saudi Arabia around £3.5 million. Think he could be on his way january

— Damon Killian (@htimsAJ) December 21, 2019

A Saudi club bid for him, he might be off

— jakey🤦🏻‍♂️ (@JacobElsmore) December 21, 2019

Hegazi gone in January then

— Theo (@TKPwba) December 21, 2019

Some of the supporters are seemingly open to the idea of the centre-back leaving next month as they are unsure how committed he is to the cause.

Some what disappointing to learn of hegazi being left out due to a training ground incident would seem on the back of a rejected bid , hard to know what to make of it with out knowing the full facts but either he’s on board or get rid jan #wba

— Jason Wheeler (@lebouf1976) December 21, 2019

We don’t really need Hegazi tbh, on his day he’s a rock but wasn’t good enough in prem imo so if he goes then good luck to him.. use the money towards Bowen, Would also like to see a no nonsense CDM for when going gets tough.. but happy with sawyers, Livermore and Barry

— stuart walton (@stuwolwalton) December 21, 2019

May need to whisper this, for fear of upsetting people.

I’ll have O’Shea over Hegazi any day of the week.

— Gary Weston (@wezzaboing74) December 21, 2019

Hegazi has a contract at the Hawthorns until the summer of 2022, meaning that it is not too much of a surprise that the club have reportedly rejected a £3.4m offer.

The 28-year-old appeared in all 38 of the team’s Premier League games during the 2017/18 campaign, meanwhile, contributing two goals in the process.

An ankle injury meant that he missed the start of this season, but the Egyptian has been available for selection since the middle of October.

Meanwhile, the team could welcome back a key player for their clash with Barnsley on Boxing Day.
