West Bromwich Albion and Millwall go head-to-head at the Hawthorns in round nine of the EFL Championship on Saturday. The Baggies will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last six meetings since February 2020.
West Bromwich Albion were left empty handed for the second consecutive game as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
Before that, the Baggies were condemned to their first Championship defeat of the season on September 28, when they were beaten 3-2 by Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium.
West Bromwich Albion have picked up 16 points from their eight league matches so far to sit fourth in the standings, two points behind Sunderland at the top of the pile.
Elsewhere, Millwall continue to struggle for consistency in the new league campaign as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday.
This followed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Preston North End on September 28, which saw their two-game winless run come to an end.
Millwall have lost four of their eight Championship games while picking up two wins and two draws to collect eight points and sit 16th in the table but could move level with 11th-placed Oxford United with a win on Saturday.
