West Bromwich Albion host Norwich City in round 45 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (April 29). The sides are within three points of the playoffs places, so a thrilling battle at the Hawthorns could ensue.
West Brom failed to return to winning ways on Wednesday, as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. That followed a 2-1 home defeat against Sunderland on April 23, which snapped their two-game winning run. With 63 points from 44 games, Carlos Corberan’s side are ninth in the Championship, one point above Norwich and two points behind the playoff places.
Norwich, meanwhile, suffered a 3-0 thrashing against Swansea City at Carrow Road on Saturday. The Canaries have now failed to win their last four games, losing twice since a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers April 7. However, Norwich head into the weekend unbeaten in six of their last seven away games since February, winning twice.
