Still no Barkley or Konsa for Villa as the Allardyce era begins in West Brom



[ad_1]

Sam Allardyce takes over West Bromwich Albion for the first time tonight.

The Baggies face Aston Villa in the last of four Premier League games to take place on Sunday, kicking off in Black Country at 19:15 GMT.

The former Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers and England coach has succeeded Slaven Bilic on the Hawthorns bench, and the Croat lost his position after Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at the Etihad.

The impressive performance against Manchester City and the limited time with his new charges have persuaded Allardyce to name an unchanged team from Gameweek 13.

As for the visitors, Dean Smith welcomes two players from the suspension today, with both returning directly to the starting eleven.

Douglas luiz (£ 5.0 million) and Matty cash (£ 5.0m) are recently available after one match bans and replace Wonderful Nakamba (£ 4.3 million) and Ahmed Elmohamady (£ 4.3 million) in central midfield and right-back, respectively.

There are not any yet Ross Barkley (£ 5.9m) for the Villans, as the borrower nears a return from a hamstring injury.

The patient Ezri Konsa (£ 4.8 million) is also not part of the 18-man squad of the day.

FPL’s most popular gatekeeper, Emiliano Martinez (£ 4.9 million), he starts between the posts and hopes to continue his good form on the road.

Villa’s goalkeeper has recorded a clean sheet in four of his team’s five away games this season, averaging 6.6 points per game in his travels.

Jack grealish (£ 7.8m) is the most possessed player on the show – in 43.2% of Fantasy squads today, with only Son Heung-min (£ 9.7 million) proving to be a more in-demand purchase among midfielders.

None of the Albion players are owned by more than 2% of FPL’s managers.


West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone, Furlong, Ajayi, O’Shea, Gibbs, Phillips, Sawyers, Livermore, Gallagher, Diangana, Grant.

Aston Villa XI: Martínez, Cash, Hause, Mings, Targett, Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Traore, Grealish, El Ghazi, Watkins.
