‘Arnie’ comes in for Sam Byram but in sticking with the same line up it means Chicharito is again set to play on the left although with licence to move inside and support Carroll when required.
And Arnauatovic’s availability would allow the manager to change the formation should it be required by withdrawing one of the central defenders and moving Chicharito or Diafra Sakho alongside the big man should game conditions demand it.
Bilic has been working on both defensive systems in training this week paying particular attention to set piece defending which is an integral part of the West Brom game.
