Carlos Corberan's West Brom starting XI for their crucial Sky Bet Championship clash with Middlesbrough has been confirmed by the club.

The club are slowly losing track in their playoff charge and looking unidentical to the side that rampaged towards the Championship top six before the turn of the year. With the Baggies faltering in recent weeks, failing to win any of their last three league games and sitting five points outside the Championship playoff places, this contest is a must-win game for Corberan and his men. Ahead of what should be an intriguing and engrossing contest at the Hawthorns, Corberan will be looking for a reaction from his side against a rampant Middlesbrough side sitting third in the table.

Daryl Dike bagged his fourth and fifth West Bromwich Albion goals - both in the first ten minutes - as Albion sealed a big three points in their home clash ...

Definitely an improvement from Albrighton, who helped to create a chance for Dike in the second half. Albion's fan favourite claimed an assist for the first and played his part in the second. As much as Boro threatened to build up a head of steam in the first half, it was actually Albion who were much quicker out of the traps at the beginning of the second. Fine finish for the first goal, perhaps thankful for the opportunity to convert the second! Dominant in his position and combined superbly with Diangana to create a chance for Molumby. A little erratic at times, but some of the moments he produced were quality. On hand to head everything clear in the first period, and picked his passes too - including one, which surprised everyone Had plenty of attacking threat to contend with, but he saw off Forss and then dealt with Izzy Jones off the bench. Maybe could've dealt with a first-half Boro move at source when he lost a battle for the ball when pressing high, but otherwise this was another showing worthy of his season. Swift slipped Dike in this time, and although Steffen as equal to his first effort, he followed up for a quick-fire double. Indeed they came closer to scoring the third goal of the game before the break when Grady Diangana and Conor Townsend superbly combined but Wallace couldn't keep his shot down. John Swift, playing centrally here, picked up a position on the left and expertly slipped in winger Jed Wallace down the same flank.

Boro's first chance came when Jonny Howson played a delight of a pass to release Ryan Giles whose cross was fired over the top by Marcus Forss. The home side's ...

Daryl Dike's early first-half double proves enough for West Bromwich Albion to win 2-0 and end Middlesbrough's five-game winning run.

Even then, I believed we could get back in it, but they defended very well.
