Your support makes all the difference.West Bromwich Albion host Leeds United on Tuesday night with both teams hoping to build on positive results last time out after Christmas.
The Baggies took a surprise point at Anfield with a late equaliser against Liverpool, in what was Sam Allardyce’s second match in charge since replacing Slaven Bilic. West Brom remain in the bottom two and are five points from safety with just a single win all season, but they’ll take the positives as they come right now as the manager bids to reinstall a sense of hope that they can avoid relegation.
Leeds responded well to their hammering by Manchester United, beating Burnley on Boxing Day by a single goal to nil - although they certainly rode their luck at times and were a little fortunate to take all three points, considering a hotly debated disallowed strike from the Clarets.

Odds

Leeds - 21/20
Prediction
West Brom could be a little more adventurous than they were in their last game as they know Leeds are fragile at the back at times, though they won’t want it to become a straight shoot-out. Another point would be another positive step after Sam Allardyce’s appointment. West Brom 1-1 Leeds
