Leeds v West Brom betting tips: Whites ending in style

Slaven Bilic did not make the turn of the year and Big Sam has said he won’t be around for next season.

A 3-1 home reverse against West Ham on Wednesday put the lid on a torrid season and Albion will be hoping to end on something of a high at a time when there is little to smile about.

Leeds v West Brom head-to-head

Leeds were convincing 5-0 winners in the earliest fixture in the west Midlands, a Romaine Sawyers own goal followed by strikes from Gjanni Alioski, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Raphinha.

In fact, United are unbeaten in their last four against West Brom, though they were humbled 4-1 by the same opponents quite early into Bielsa’s reign.

Diomansy Kamara scored twice when West Brom last won at Elland Road, a 3-2 victory back in January 2007.

Previous XI

West Brom: Johnstone, Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Townsend, Phillips, Gallagher, Yokusli, Maitland-Niles, Pereira, Robson-Kanu.

Team news

Bielsa took Tuesday as an opportunity to give some of the players he refers to as ‘club’ men an outing at Southampton. Number two goalkeeper Kiko Casilla made a rare start, while club stalwart Gaetano Berardi was given the second half for his Premier League debut.

United fans have one wish for Sunday, though, which is to see former talisman Pablo Hernandez given an emotional farewell before a likely summer departure.

West Brom are seeing the season out with no new injury concerns, with ex-Leeds winger Robert Snodgrass (back) and defender Branislav Ivanovic (hamstring) known absentees.

Key battles

Bamford is one of many stand-out Leeds players this season and he is evens to score at any time, with ex-Leeds man Kyle Bartley tasked with shackling him.

Hernandez, a scorer in Leeds’ 4-0 win over the Baggies in March 2019, is 23/10 to sign off with a goal.

For all their good form, Leeds will need to keep an eye on Matheus Pereira, a 6/1 price to score the first for West Brom, with 10 for the season against his name.
