Sunday’s events get underway at the Hawthorns as West Brom seek to end a barren run of results on home turf against a confident Middlesbrough side.

Tony Pulis’ men have earned just a single point from their last five matches in front of their own fans, having lost out 2-1 to Everton in Gameweek 2.

In contrast, the visitors arrive in the midlands having earned their first three points on their return to the top flight courtesy of a 2-1 win at Sunderland in the Wear-Tees derby.

Boro are forced to shuffle their back four in the absence of left-back George Friend through injury, but Daniel Ayala is fit to start and makes his first appearance of the season.

As for West Brom, they shift Jonny Evans to central defence with Jonas Olsson dropping to the bench. Brendan Galloway makes his first Baggies start in the league at left-back, while young Sam Field makes his debut in midfield in what looks to be a five-man setup. Saido Berahino and Craig Gardner make way.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.
