    West Ham look as though they couldn't buy a win or a clean sheet at the moment. Their midfield looks a problem. Cheikhou Kouyate is like a fire engine that arrives at a fire after it has gone out.

    Two changes for either side.

    For West Brom, forward Salomón Rondón and winger James McClean replace Sam Field and Saido Berahino, who drops to the bench.

    The biggest news is on the Baggies bench where Wales striker and Euro 2016 hero Hal Robson-Kanu sits, ahead of what could be his first appearance since joining on a free on transfer deadline day.

    West Brom v West Ham (15:00 BST)

    Mark Scott
    Match of the Day commentator

    The rubber-stamping of West Brom's takeover has put Tony Pulis' future in the spotlight again.

    He insists he doesn't expect much to change under the new owner, but he could certainly do with things going in a different direction on the pitch, as wins and goals continue to be in very short supply.

    Pulis would love West Ham to be as charitable at the back as they were last week, with the Hammers going from the sublime to the ridiculous against Watford.

    Slaven Bilic is hopeful that capitulation will be a turning point and is expecting a 'big response'. After losing three of their opening four league games, he needs one.

    Former West Brom striker Jason Roberts: "I know John Williams, who has come into West Brom with the new owners, from my time at Blackburn and he's not a confrontational character so I am surprised this situation has developed. 

    "Clearly Tony Pulis isn't happy that he's not been able to bring in the players he has wanted at the club. I think he came out and said that Hal Robson-Kanu wasn't his signing which makes you worry a bit."

    Our resident Mystic Meg has been looking into his crystal football once again. That's right, BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has been predicting the scores of all of this weekend's Premier League matches.

    Lawro's opponent this week is Radio 1Xtra DJ Charlie Sloth. 

    Sloth is a Liverpool fan, and told BBC Sport: "I am a massive Red, and there is only one Red that matters."

    That's a nice way to talk about Liverpool legend Lawro isn't it? What?! Sloth is talking about Steven Gerrard? Unbelievable.

    Lawro got off to a good start after predicting a 2-0 win for Liverpool against Chelsea.

    Check out their predictions here.
