Joseph should continue as the focal point up top for Leeds with Rutter’s pending move to Brighton all but confirmed. In the opening weekend he committed two fouls whilst last season he was penalised for nine fouls in his 22 substitute appearances.

The two centre backs for West Brom are going to be aggressive and physical, which should this should lead to plenty duels and a few fouls from both Joseph and the home backline.

Darnell Furlong will be up against Wifried Gnonto and Dan James as these two will switch sides throughout the game. Last season Gnonto was fouled on average 2.93 times per game and Dan James 1.52 times per fixture.

Furlong committed an average of 1.05 fouls last term, and he committed 1 and 2 fouls in the two games against Leeds last season. This season he committed two fouls in the opening fixture.

96% of visitors to the Hawthorns last season collected at least card, with an average of 2.13. 88% of teams that Leeds visited in the Championship last term were awarded at least a card – with an average of 2.08.

Both sides were carded in 21 of Leeds 24 away days last term, while referee Sam Allison averaged 3.82 in his second tier games last season.

Last season Leeds conceded an average of 6.57 corners on the road, conceding four or more in 21 of their 23 away games. When playing at the Hawthorns, West Brom won an average of 5.75 corners per league match, winning four or more corners in 21 of 23 home fixtures.

They’ll want to make a strong start here and could rack up enough corners to comfortably beat this line.

Darnell Furlong will be up against a mixture of Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James, as these two will switch flanks throughout the game. Last season, Gnonto was fouled on average 2.93 times per game and Dan James 1.52 times per fixture.

Furlong committed an average of 1.05 fouls last term. In the corresponding fixture last season, he committed two fouls. This season he committed two in the opening fixture and looks likely to sin a couple of times here.

Last season, Leeds on the road conceded an average of 6.57 corners, conceding five or more in 19 of their 23 away games. West Brom, when playing at the Hawthorns won an average of 5.75 corners, making this pick look solid.

Leeds won an average of 5.09 corners last season when playing away from Elland Road, they also won eight at the Hawthorns last term. They won 5 or more corners in 12 of 23 but did win four or more in 17.

Given they really need to win this match given their slow start we should see them push forward. They won 12 in their opening fixture this season, too.
