I think the important choice is who starts with Hemed in attack?
From a defensive point of view I tend to favour Bong against conventional wingrs and Rosenoir against inverted wingers. As Arfield and Boyd swop over it is swings and roundabouts.
Going forward on the overlap, Bong looks a better bet, espeically as Albion attack more on the right and a quick switch allows the greater pace of Bong to run into space, and clearing down the wing is better for a natural left footer.
The other open question is who to choose on the right wing position. Rosenoir plays narrower and might be better defensively than the inverted Knockaert on the right hand side?

Like for like comparison
Heaton v Stockdale
Lowton v Bruno
Keane v Goldson
Mee v Dunk
Ward v Bong
Barton v Stephens
Jones v Kayal
Boyd v Murphy
Arfield v Rosenoir
Vokes v Hemed (Both have 40% chance of goal in 90 minutes)
Gray v Baldock/Zamora or another (Gray & Zamora have 70% chance of goal in 90 minutes) Lualua 40%, Baldock 20%, Wilson 40%.
NB; Boyd is left-footed and Arfield right footed although they swop wings.
So Boyd v Knockaert, Arfield v Murphy matches better.
Burnley team seems settled. Albion have options.
I woud like to see Lualua play more centrally and come up against Barton (like he did v QPR) from an entertainment point of view. It might be effective as well.
