The Championship continues this weekend and will see Peterborough United host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday at the Weston Homes Stadium.
Peterborough United have won just one game so far this campaign. Their only win came in the second game week of the Championship, a 2-1 victory over Derby County after losing 3-0 to Luton Town on opening day. A draw against Cardiff City and a loss to Preston North End means the Posh have picked up four points in four games so far.
West Bromwich Albion continue to enjoy a rich vein of form under new manager Valerien Ismael. They are yet to lose under the Frenchman and currently sit second in the table. The Baggies are joint on points with first-place Fulham with just goal difference separating the sides.
