• Fixture: West Brom vs QPR
• Date: Monday, 29 December 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT
• Venue: The Hawthorns

West Brom will be looking to bounce back after a run of losses, and playing at home might just give them the edge they need. With key players like Johnston and Heggebø in the lineup, they have the firepower to challenge QPR's defence. However, their recent form suggests they might struggle to convert chances into goals, which could be a concern.

QPR, on the other hand, have been in decent form, with a mix of wins and a draw in their recent matches. Their attacking duo of Burrell and Kone could pose a significant threat to West Brom's defence. Given their recent victory over West Brom, QPR might just have the psychological advantage going into this match.

West Brom have had a tough run lately, losing four out of their last five matches. Their only win came against Sheffield Utd at home, which might give them some hope. However, the recent losses, including a 1-3 defeat to QPR, could impact their confidence going into this game. They'll need to find their form quickly if they want to turn things around.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Hull City (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Sheffield Utd (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Southampton (A)
• Loss: 1-3 vs QPR (A)

QPR have been in much better shape, with three wins and a draw in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a draw against Portsmouth, but before that, they secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Leicester. The win against West Brom in their last encounter will surely boost their morale. They seem to be in a good position to continue their positive run.

• Predicted lineup: Wildsmith (GK), Campbell (DF), Phillips (DF), Mepham (DF), Taylor (DF), Diakité (MF), Styles (MF), Johnston (MF), Price (MF), Grant (MF), Heggebø (AT)

West Brom are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Wildsmith in goal and a back four of Campbell, Phillips, Mepham, and Taylor. The midfield will be anchored by Diakité and Styles, with Johnston, Price, and Grant supporting Heggebø up front, aiming to exploit any gaps in QPR's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Hamer (GK), Mbengue (DF), Dunne (DF), Cook (DF), Norrington-Davies (DF), Dembélé (MF), Madsen (MF), Varane (MF), Saito (MF), Burrell (AT), Kone (AT)

QPR will likely stick with their 4-4-2 formation, with Hamer between the posts and a defensive line of Mbengue, Dunne, Cook, and Norrington-Davies. The midfield quartet of Dembélé, Madsen, Varane, and Saito will look to control the game, while Burrell and Kone will lead the attack, aiming to capitalise on any mistakes from West Brom.

• Heggebø vs Norrington-Davies: Heggebø's pace and finishing will be tested against Norrington-Davies' defensive solidity.
• Styles vs Saito: Styles' control in midfield will be crucial against Saito's creativity and passing range.
• Johnston (West Brom): Johnston's ability to create chances will be vital for West Brom's attack.
• Burrell (QPR): Burrell's goal-scoring prowess could be the difference-maker for QPR.
