West Brom form

West Brom continued their unbeaten streak in the Championship with a draw against Millwall on Good Friday. Despite falling behind early in the match, the visitors were able to secure a point thanks to John Swift's penalty after Grady Diangana was fouled in the box. Carlos Corberan's team remains in fifth place in the league, seven points ahead of Coventry City who have also been performing well. Academy graduate Tom Fellows made a significant impact coming off the bench and has earned a call-up to the England Under-20s squad. West Brom has been strong at home this season, with 13 wins and 42 points from 19 matches at The Hawthorns, placing them among the top teams in terms of home form in the league.

West Brom Predicted Lineup

Palmer; Furlong, Bartley, Kipre, Townsend; Mowatt, Yokuslu, Wallace, Diangana, Johnston; Thomas-Asante

Watford form

After former West Brom manager Valerien Ismael was dismissed from his position at Vicarage Road, interim boss Tom Cleverley has earned four points in his first two matches leading the team. In their recent game against Leeds, Watford took the lead twice with goals from Vakoun Bayo and Emmanuel Dennis, but ultimately settled for a draw after goals from Crysencio Summerville and Mateo Joseph. This result comes after their successful trip to Birmingham City, where Dennis capitalized on a mistake to secure a win. With just one loss in their last four matches, Watford has climbed to 49 points and appears to have secured their place in the division, as 22nd-placed Huddersfield trails by 10 points with seven games remaining.

Watford Predicted Lineup

Bachmann; Pollock, Sierralta, Porteous; Andrews, Kayembe, Dele-Bashiru, Lewis; Asprilla; Bayo, Dennis
