The action continues in round 31 of EFL Championship as West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday square off at the Hawthorns on Saturday. The Baggies head into the weekend unbeaten in 10 consecutive home games and will be looking to extend this impressive streak.
West Bromwich Albion were left red-faced last Saturday when they fell to a 2-1 loss against rock-bottom Plymouth Argyle after giving up their lead in the final 13 minutes.
This loss came after their emphatic 5-1 victory over Portsmouth on January 25, a result which saw their four-game winless run across all competitions come to an end.
West Bromwich Albion have picked up 44 points from their 30 Championship matches to sit sixth in the table, level on points with seventh-placed Middlesbrough, who are just outside the playoff places.
