Tony Pulis will have been delighted with his team's performance at Stamford Bridge this week, coming from behind twice to salvage a point against Guus Hiddink's side; thanks to James McClean scoring a late equaliser. The Baggies have been in good form of late, going three games unbeaten in the Premier League. They had won back-to-back home games before the clash with Chelsea.
However, it was clear that a number of players were carrying knocks during the last fixture with a few also going off injured during the game. The manager will have to shuffle his pack, so who will he pick for the game against Southampton?
Jonas Olsson carrying hamstring injury
The Swedish defender was treated for an injury during the first-half at Stamford Bridge but carried on to help West Brom claim a point. On Friday morning, it was confirmed by Pulis that he is a major doubt for the game against Southampton. If he can't recover in time, Jonny Evans will shift over to the centre of defence, while Chris Brunt should move to left-back.
Morrison out of Southampton trip
James Morrison is a key figure for this West Bromwich Albion side, bringing creativity, pace and goals from central midfield. The Scottish international is the club's joint top scorer with four goals. He suffered an unfortunate hamstring injury at Chelsea, coming off in the first half. His replacement, Craig Gardner, scored a brilliant goal to make it 1-1 and will likely deputise in Morrison's absence. Stephane Sessegnon will likely take Chris Brunt's place on the right of midfield.
Rondon to continue in attack
With Saido Berahino still not fully match fit, according to Pulis, Salomon Rondon looks set to continue in attack for The Baggies. After a slow start to his career at The Hawthorns, not helped by long trips to Venezuela on international duty, Rondon looked much sharper against Chelsea showing some nice touches and was unlucky not to score a stunning goal. Rickie Lambert wasn't included against Chelsea due to suffering from flu, but will return to the bench against The Saints.
Predicted XI: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Brunt; Sessegnon, Gardner, Yacob, Fletcher, McClean; Rondon.
