The Hawthorns will be Norwich City's destination on Boxing Day as they take on West Bromwich Albion in the Sky Bet Championship (KO 3pm). Norwich will be hoping to build on their pre-Christmas form while the Baggies have put themselves in a solid league position already. We were fortunate to be able to bring a few key players off early in the previous game to rest up for this one - Rowe and Sara the main ones. DA is hopeful that Dimi Gianoulis facial injury won’t require an extended spell on the sidelines but it is likely he will miss this one. McCallum has had a mostly positive impact on the last 2 games so he should be poised to start. The Opposition Under Carlos Corberan, West Brom have impressed this season and find themselves consistently hovering around the play-off spots. They have had some impressive results this season and will be aiming to keep themselves in the hunt for promotion over this busy period. Although their recent form has dropped off, this will still be a tough test. One to Watch Brandon Thomas-Asante With six goals and two assists to his name in the league already this year, Brandon Thomas-Asante represents the Albion's biggest threat in front of goal. If City can stop Thomas-Asante and John Swift from linking together in the final third, it will go a long way to stopping the Baggies. The Manager Carlos Corberan West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan retired at just 23 from playing to focus on his coaching career. After some time spent in roles such as fitness coach at Villarreal, he would get a head-coaching position with Doxa in Cyprus. Before arriving at The Hawthorns, he has also managed Ermis (Cyprus), Leeds United Under-23s, Huddersfield Town and Olympiacos. Positive vibes!!! ON THE BALL CITY!!! NEVER MIND THE DANGER!!!
The Baggies have been a bit hit or miss in recent games but the Hawthorns is a tough place for us to get anything. I would happily take a draw today.
well certainly, it is cross after cross and so far we have been up for it., Duffy has been heading lots away. Idah is going to the right
He's done well but it's hard to see us holding out now. Rowe has been excellent at harassing their defenders.
