Baggies Can Bounce Back after Opening Loss

With so many changes in personnel at West Bromwich Albion over the summer, it was perhaps no great surprise that the baggies lost their opening game of the campaign 2:1 at Burnley.

Even so, Tony Mowbray has been especially active in the transfer market of late, as he seeks to replace the likes of Jason Koumas and Diomansy Kamara.

The squad still looks to have more than enough quality to launch another bid for promotion from the Championship and Saturday's opponents, Preston North End, look to be a team that might be in for a season of decline following the sale of star striker David Nugent.

The 4-5 available on the home win with William Hill looks a decent price given the quality in their ranks.

Pick: West Bromwich at 4/5 with William Hill
