The football season is back. For West Brom, their main aim this season will surely be to achieve promotion.
Albion come into this new campaign with a fresh face in charge of their side as Slaven Bilic takes the reins following Darren Moore and Jimmy Shan’s time at the club in 2018/19.
West Brom have also added a host of new faces to their squad, all of whom could feature on the opening weekend.
Have a look below at who we’re predicting to start for the Baggies against Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening…
The main concern for Bilic going into the game with Forest is in defence. They are without Ahmed Hegazi who is going to be absent through injury following the Africa Cup of Nations.
Aside from that, Albion will have essentially what is a fully fit squad to chose from.
Their new manager has previously stated his desire to play with two strikers in attack but their lack of options dictates that may not be possible.
As a result, we’re predicting new signing Kenneth Zohore to lead the line, the first of five potential debutants.

Among those are defenders Semi Ajayi and Darnell Furlong whilst Romaine Sawyers and Filip Krovinovic are likely to feature in midfield.
Ajayi played in a holding role for Rotherham at times in 2018/19 but with no Hegazi, he may well be placed in defence instead.
Perhaps the biggest predicament facing Bilic is out wide.
Oliver Burke is now back at the club but the Croatian boss has been speaking highly of Kyle Edwards, suggesting that he’s ready to feature. Matt Phillips has been in good form in pre-season, scoring twice against Scunthorpe so could play on the right.
19-year-old Rekeem Harper signed a new deal this summer and may start in a partnership with another former academy man in Sawyers.
