West Brom v Manchester City preview and possible lineups

Two polar opposites come face to face in the Premier League. Defeat at Southampton last weekend extended West Brom's poor run of form, with the Baggies failing to pick up a win since August 19.

City, on the other hand, go into the fixture five points clear at the top of the league table having scored 32 goals so far this season. Tony Pulis is planning to try something different when they face "the best team in Europe": "We'll approach it a little bit different to normal," the West Brom coach said.

Ilkay Gundogan is the only doubt for City after suffering cramp in the Carabao Cup. Craig Dawson has been ruled out for the hosts after picking up thigh and knee injuries which will keep him out for two months. Allan Nyom will likely take his place, while Hal Robson-Kanu, Jonny Evans and Gareth Barry could all be available. James Morrison is sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury.

West Brom v Man City potential lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Nyom, Evans, Hegazi, Gibbs; Rodriguez, Krychowiak, Livermore, Garry, Chadli; Rondon

Man City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Delph; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva; Sterling, Aguero, Sane
