da jogodeouro： West Brom face one of their toughest tests yet as they head to Elland Road looking to stretch their unbeaten start to life under Slaven Bilic to a tenth straight league outing.
da luck： Leeds will surely be baying for vengeance after their underwhelming defeat at Charlton Athletic on Saturday while the Baggies can take encouragement from picking up their first clean sheet of the season away to Queens Park Rangers.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have the best defensive record in the division, even despite losing at the weekend, as they have conceded only five goals.
Given that information, should the Croatian make any vast changes to a side that is yet to taste defeat themselves?
Summer arrival Charlie Austin cost the club £4m from Southampton, but so far he’s yet to make a significant impact, failing to score in any of his five league starts.
Fellow forward Kenneth Zohore has hardly lit up the Hawthorns either with both his goals this campaign coming from penalties – he also didn’t feature at the weekend.

Instead, the returning Hal Robson-Kanu was the favoured substitute, and he looked lively when he was introduced for the final 30 minutes.
It was the 30-year-old who won the free-kick which resulted in their second goal, and given his experience in this division, he could well be needed for a fixture like this one – Robson-Kanu has made a total of 213 appearances in the Championship.
The only other change Bilic should make is reintroducing Kyle Edwards at Grady Diangana’s expense – the Albion youth product would offer more defensively as he concedes fewer fouls and has been dribbled past on less occasions, per WhoScored.
Diangana has been most effective as a super-sub since joining the club on loan from West Ham – two of his three goals and both assists have come after being subbed on – so he could be an ideal option to make Bielsa pay in the second half.
The rest of the side needs to remain unchanged especially after picking up the first clean sheet of the season, even with Kieran Gibbs lurking around the starting fold after his return from injury.
