West Bromwich Albion will host Coventry City at the Hawthorns on Friday (February 3) in the Championship.
The hosts have enjoyed a solid start to life under manager Carlos Corberan. West Brom, though, saw their good run of form come to an end in the league with a 2-1 loss to leaders Burnley before getting knocked out in the FA Cup fourth round with a 3-0 defeat at Bristol City. West Brom are tenth in the league table with 41 points from 28 games.
Coventry, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season but have struggled after theWorld Cup. They returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a 2-0 home win over Huddersfield Town, with Kasey Palmer and Gustavo Hamer getting on the scoresheet in the second half.
