West Bromwich Albion will host Coventry City at the Hawthorns on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season and have been unable to turn draws into wins as they sit eighth in the table with 29 points from 19 matches.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United in their game at the weekend, with summer arrival Torbjorn Heggem opening the scoring with his maiden goal for the club before Tom Fellows scored a second-half leveler to register his first club strike since March.
Coventry City have had their struggles this season but seem to have turned a corner under new boss Frank Lampard, with the Englishman returning to a managerial role for the first time in over a year. The Sky Blues picked up their first win under the former Chelsea head coach on Saturday, beating Millwall 1-0 with Ephron Mason-Clark scoring the sole goal of the game in the second half.
