West Bromwich Albion and Derby County return to action in the EFL Championship when they square off at the Hawthorns on Monday. The Baggies have won the last three meetings in the fixture as they seek playoff qualification.
WBA were sent crashing back to earth in their push for a playoff spot as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Coventry City on Friday. Before that, the Baggies had snapped a run of five matches without a win on April 12 courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Watford at the Hawthorns.
West Brom have picked up 60 points from 43 matches to sit eighth in the points table, six points behind sixth-placed Coventry in the final playoff spot.
Trending
Derby, meanwhile, continue to struggle at the wrong end of the standings, as they fell to a 1-0 home loss to fellow strugglers Luton Town last time out. The Rams are winless in four back-to-back matches, losing twice, having won the preceding four games.
With 43 points from as many matches, Derby are 21st in the Championship, only above Luton in the first relegation spot on goal difference.
