West Bromwich Albion Preview – Can the Baggies bounce back with a win?
West Bromwich Albion, who were relegated from the Premier League last term, are one of the promotion favourites. They have made a good start under new boss Valerien Ismael, though the Baggies head into this one having lost two of their last three in the Championship.
West Brom have been very solid in front of their home fans. Apart from an EFL Cup mauling at the hands of Premier League Arsenal, Ismael’s men have looked good and are unbeaten in the league on their own patch. In their previous home fixture, Albion beat Midlands rivals Birmingham City 1-0.
West Brom were not their usual selves in Swansea in midweek, letting a lead slip to lose 2-1 in Wales. Still, they should bounce back with three points on home soil this Saturday.
Bristol City Preview – Will the Robins’ fine away form continue?
Bristol City have blown hot and cold this season. Incredibly, they are still looking for their first home league victory since January. However, they have been superb on the road, with just Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest picking up more away points.
Nigel Pearson’s men head to The Hawthorns having won four of their previous five away games. Last Saturday, the Robins edged a five-goal thriller at Peterborough United. They have also won at Reading, Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers this season.

Robson-Kanu then netted twice, while Callum Robinson was also on the scoresheet in a 3-0 West Brom win at Ashton Gate in February 2020.
