Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Leeds vs West Brom in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 4pm).

Team news

Leeds pair Pablo Hernandez and Gaetano Berardi are hoping to feature in the final game of the season against West Brom.

Both Hernandez and Berardi will bid farewell to the fans at Elland Road following the announcement this week that both players will leave the club at the end of the season.

Diego Llorente will miss out due to a muscle strain, while fellow defender Robin Koch, who has a slight hip injury, and midfielder Mateusz Klich have been allowed to finish their club campaign early.

West Brom may have to cope without Brazilian playmaker Matheus Pereira for what will be Sam Allardyce's final game in charge.

Pereira picked up an unspecified injury in the Baggies' home defeat to West Ham and faces a late test to establish the nature of his setback.

Otherwise the Baggies have no new injury concerns with Robert Snodgrass (back) and Branislav Ivanovic (hamstring) remaining on the sidelines.

Jones Knows' prediction

You can only guarantee three things in this life: death, taxes and a goal-bonanza on the final day of a Premier League season. The goal per game ratio always sails above the season average on the final day. Teams are more likely to play with a bit more freedom in a sunshine-filled no-pressure environment. Of all the fixtures on the final day, this looks the game that could go a bit bonkers on the goal front.

Only Manchester United's games have averaged more goals than Leeds' this season with Marcelo Bielsa's style reaping rewards at the top level. West Brom, meanwhile, have also become a team under Sam Allardyce that produce action at both ends of the pitch with seven of their last eight matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored. I am happy to play the over 5.5 goals angle at 5/1 with Sky Bet.

CORRECT SCORE PREDICTION: 4-2

BETTING ANGLE: Over 5.5 goals (5/1 with Sky Bet)
